As we embark on this new chapter in our bilateral relationship, it is essential that we reaffirm our shared commitment to democracy and human rights. The United States and Guatemala have a long history of working together to promote these values, and I am committed to continuing this important work.
We are also committed to strengthening our economic ties, which will create new opportunities for trade, investment, and job creation. This cooperation will be focused on sustainable development, ensuring that we work together to address the pressing challenges of climate change, poverty, and inequality.
We recognize that migration is a complex issue that requires a comprehensive approach. We will work together to address the root causes of migration, provide support to vulnerable populations, and ensure that our asylum systems are fair and effective.
