Guatemalan president arrives in Taiwan for visit slammed by China FMTNews FMTWorld
Guatemalan president Alejandro Giammattei was escorted by Taiwan’s foreign minister Joseph Wu.
China considers democratic Taiwan part of its territory to be retaken one day, and does not allow other countries to recognise both Beijing and Taipei. During his visit Monday through Thursday, Giammattei is scheduled to address the congress of Taiwan and visit a technology company in Taichung, south of Taipei. He is also due to attend an event promoting Guatemalan coffee, according to the Taiwanese president’s office.
Giammattei’s visit comes after a trip earlier this month by Taiwan’s president Tsai Ing-wen to Guatemala and Belize – the only other Central American country to retain diplomatic ties with Taiwan since Honduras shifted its allegiance to China last month.In response, China staged three days of military exercises simulating targeted strikes and a blockade of the island.
