Luanda - Angola's ambassador to Cuba, Cândida Teixeira, on Wednesday in Havana City, granted an audience to her Guatemalan counterpart, Luís Corranza, with whom she discussed strengthening relations between the two countries in various sectors.
According to a press release which ANGOP had access to, the meeting also served for the both diplomats to exchange views on international politics, with emphasis on Angola's role in pacifying conflicts in Africa.
Diplomatic relations between Angola and Guatemala were formally established on 22 September 2023, during the High Level Week of the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, United States of America.
The Angolan Foreign Affairs minister, Téte António and his Guatemalan counterpart, Mário Búcaro, signed the document formalising the political dialogue that will allow a relationship of friendship and cooperation to begin.
Guatemala is a Central American country with more than 18 million inhabitants. It shares a southern border with Mexico and its economy is one of the largest in the region, based predominantly on agriculture.
A quarter of its gross domestic product (GDP), two thirds of exports and half of the country's labour force comes from the fields.
