Foreign Policy
Guatemala's foreign policy focuses on economic development, migration (with a large diaspora in the US), Central American integration through SICA, and trade liberalisation under CAFTA-DR. Guatemala is one of a diminishing number of states recognising Taiwan, which influences its relationship with China.
The country seeks to balance US economic dependence with regional solidarity and has prioritised food security, anti-narcotics cooperation, and addressing root causes of migration in international forums.
