"This trip is historic for three reasons. The first-ever visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to Guatemala. The first-ever participation in the Council of Ministers of the ACS. The first visit of the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine to Latin America in 10 years," the minister emphasized.
Kuleba informed that the ACS is 25 states of the Caribbean basin.
It is an essential region with significant resources. Also, the ACS is interested in Ukrainian goods, the experience of digitalization of the government, and mutually beneficial political cooperation in international organizations.
The Minister added that his visit to Latin America is part of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' course to open new horizons for Ukraine, domestic businesses, and citizens.
For reference:
It should be noted that Guatemala was the first country in Latin America that supported the special tribunal that would investigate the crimes of Russia.
Last summer, the president of Guatemala, Alejandro Giammattei, visited the cities of the Kyiv region that suffered from Russian aggression.
