And, as is pretty much mandatory for any Belizean Foreign Minister - Fonseca touched the Belize - Guatemala issue. But instead of focusing on the chronic problem in the Sarstoon with the GAF, he took the lead from the Guatemala's president - who showed deference to the ICJ process:
Francis Fonseca, Foreign Minister
"Belize is committed to the final settlement of Guatemala's territorial, insular and maritime claim. We welcome Guatemala's stated commitment to respecting and abiding by the ruling of the International Court of Justice. At the political level, we are actively engaged with Guatemala to strengthen our bilateral relationship. A definitive solution will bring greater opportunities for both of our nations in the areas of trade, investment, and cooperation."
