The UK and Guatemala enjoy a very positive bilateral relationship and I look forward to working with you to strengthen this in the years to come.

With many others around the world, I have watched with admiration as Guatemala has tackled corruption at the very highest levels over recent months.

The UK stands ready to support your new administration as you work to convert this period of historic change into enduring justice and prosperity for the Guatemalan people.
