Guatemala’s president pledges strong support for ‘Republic of Taiwan’ FMTNews FMTWorld

Guatemala’s president Alejandro Giammattei accompanied by Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen delivers a speech in Taipei.

Giammattei, standing next to Taiwan president Tsai Ing-wen, ended his speech with a rousing “long live free Taiwan”, receiving a broad smile from Tsai who thanked him in English.
