Trade agreements will open the opportunity for governments to be come allies with other countries. This type of new relationship will encourage international recognition. This will lead to the establishment of new embassies and  recognition of each other as countries.  

Moreover, trade agreements will put a spotlight on specific countries and bring to the forefront their policies and procedures and political misgivings. Since they will be viewed now, by the entire world, and more importantly, the country they are in trade with, the political reforms to offer better optics on an international scale will begin to evolve.
