Belize Acquires Five New Foreign Ambassadors

On Monday, Governor General Froyla Tzalam received letters of credence from five newly appointed ambassadors to Belize at the Belize House in Belmopan. The ambassadors were appointed from Portugal, Finland, Pakistan, Russia and the Holy See. Their appointments signal Belize’s desire to form relationships with these countries. This was supported by the ambassadors, who each expressed their hopes of forging stronger bonds with Belize during their tenure. Ambassador Santiago De Wit Guzman, of the Holy See, said “I have been very lucky today in presenting my credentials to the people, to the governor General, and to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and everything has gone very well. They have shown completely attention and this vulnerability, and they were very kind to me and understanding very well the role a Catholic church plays in the country and their will to support and to encourage”.
