Prime Minister Briceno left the country yesterday en route to a bilateral meeting with President Alejandro Giammattei - his first official visit to Guatemala.
Well, that meeting took place today, and shortly after the two leaders gave a press conference and talked in very general terms about their hopes for trade and continued cooperation.
Here's what they said about their early morning meeting:
And while the two leaders gave speeches filled with hopes and platitudes, they said nothing whatsoever about the elephant in the room, the looming shadow of a territorial dispute that no bilateral negotiation, no matter how cordial, has ever been able to solve.
That dispute is now logged at the International Court of Justice in the Hague.
A press release says the two leaders discussed trade, security cooperation, implementation of bilateral agreements as well as migration and strengthening of CARICOM/SICA relations.
Prime Minister Briceno will also meet with Belizean students studying in Guatemala.
He returns to Belize on June 3.
