Members of the British Embassy in Guatemala will travel to Quetzaltenango on May 10-12 to participate in the city’s International Commercial Fair.

At the fair they will be sharing the UK’s Olympic experience and promoting UK higher education opportunities.

The team will also meet with government officials, the business community, civil society, and visit the previous home of the British Consulate there.

Quetzaltenango is important to the UK’s interests in Guatemala with the potential for more cooperation in education, business and cultural. And as it will also host in 2018 the Central American and the Caribbean Games, there is plenty the UK can share having hosted the successful 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games in London
