Guatemala

Taiwan's foreign minister has left for official visits to Belize and Guatemala, two of the island's remaining diplomatic allies in Central America, accompanied by a business delegation. The trip signals Taipei's efforts to deepen trade and investment ties with its few remaining partners and shore up relations amid ongoing diplomatic pressure.

The Minister for Foreign Affairs of Guatemala delivered an address during the general debate of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York. The speech comes as world leaders gather for the annual debate, where member states set out their positions on international security, development and multilateral cooperation. Guatemala's remarks form part of the wider Latin American contribution to this year's session.
