During the World Governments Summit in Dubai, LatinGulf.ae conducted an exclusive interview with H.E. Carlos Ramiro Martínez, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Guatemala, together with H.E. Jorge Archila, Ambassador of Guatemala to the United Arab Emirates, to discuss Guatemala’s expanding diplomatic and economic agenda in the Gulf region.
In this conversation, the Minister highlighted key outcomes from Guatemala’s official visit to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, including the launch of negotiations for a Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) with the UAE, new opportunities for investment and cooperation across the Emirates, and Guatemala’s growing commitment to strengthening strategic partnerships with Gulf nations through trade, development, tourism, and innovation initiatives.
During your recent visit to the United Arab Emirates, what were the main objectives of your agenda, and what key outcomes would you highlight from your participation in the World Governments Summit and your bilateral meetings with UAE authorities?
The visit to the United Arab Emirates had several objectives. One of them was to accept the invitation and participate in the Global Government Summit, where we took part in an active manner. In addition, the visit also had a bilateral dimension. This allowed me, in my capacity as Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala, to meet with the Vice Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the United Arab Emirates to address a number of issues that we are working on jointly, coordinating and looking ahead with the aim of deepening the relationship between both States.
