Belize and the European Union held a high-level Partnership Dialogue today in Belmopan, reaffirming their commitment to shared values and global cooperation.

Key discussions included ongoing development projects, green growth, border management, and investments through the EU’s Global Gateway Initiative. The EU also updated Belize on regional programs in climate, trade, and governance.
