You will also get rid of any trust from foreigners and, thus, any future foreign investment.

Sometimes keeping your word is more important that attainment of ideological purity. China can survive such a loss of trust, because it is a Behemoth of a nation and can live somehow regardless. Honduras much less so.

(I am saying this as a citizen of a small country who doesn't like all our commitments either, but the alternative of just going back on our word would be fairly detrimental to us long term.)
