Prime Minister Briceno says international cooperation is critical

By Zoila Palma: On June 15, the cabinet met at its regular session.

Prime Minister (PM) John Briceno provided cabinet with a report on his 1st official visit to Guatemala.

PM Briceno said that discussions focused on trade, security cooperation, migration, support for the Organization of American State’s Office in the Adjacency Zone, and the improvement of bilateral relations through the work of the Joint Commission.

The Prime Minister held a meeting with the Guatemalan Chamber of Commerce and Industry where he welcomed private investments to Belize.

He also met with Belizeans studying in Guatemala.

PM Briceno says that international cooperation is critical especially with Belize and Guatemala’s pending case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

“With our pending case at the ICJ, it is important that we move forward, as two border nations living side by side and working together in areas of cooperation. We share real on-the-ground connections, for example in education, from their primary and secondary school students crossing the border at Benque Viejo del Carmen, to the many Belizean students attaining higher education at Guatemalan Universities,” PM Briceno stated.

The Prime Minister also recently attended the Summit of Heads of Government of SICA with Spain.
