Message from His Majesty King Charles III to the people of Guatemala on the occasion of Independence Day.
Dear Mister President Arévalo,
On the occasion of the Anniversary of your Independence, my wife and I extend to Your Excellency and to the people of Guatemala our heartfelt congratulations and warmest good wishes.
This day serves as a valued opportunity to reflect upon the enduring friendship between our nations. I am deeply encouraged by the strength of our bilateral ties and remain committed to fostering even closer cooperation in the years to come.
As we face the shared challenges of our time, particularly those concerning the climate and the preservation of our natural world, I am hopeful that our countries may continue to work together in pursuit of meaningful and lasting solutions.
My wife and I send our sincerest regards to you and to all Guatemalans, with our best wishes for peace, prosperity, and wellbeing in the year ahead.
Charles R.
