As a lead-up to Belize’s 43rd Independence, the Government of Belize will be hosting some two dozen ambassadors from around the world for Diplomatic Week.

Minister of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade, Education, Culture, Science, and Technology, Francis Fonseca, said, “We welcome our friends of Belize, the diplomatic core who are here with us, some two dozen ambassadors who have travelled to Belize to participate in this week’s Diplomatic Week in celebration of Belize, leading up to the independence of Belize, which they are here to celebrate with us.”

Belize celebrates its 43rd independence on September 21st. Fonseca added, “This 43rd anniversary of independence is not just a celebration of the past. It is a call to action for the future. Independence is not merely the absence of colonial rule. It is the presence of an engaged, informed, and active citizenry.”
