Guatemala leader vows to stand by ‘solid’ ally Taiwan
Guatemala’s President Alejandro Giammattei has pledged support for Taiwan during his visit to the island, which is one of the few countries that still recognises Taiwan as an independent nation.
The move has drawn criticism from China, which considers Taiwan a part of its territory. Beijing has been trying to isolate Taiwan on the international stage and has convinced several countries to switch recognition from Taipei to Beijing.
