Congresswoman Norma Torres Returns to Guatemala with Congressional Delegation to Strengthen Partnerships

Guatemala - Today, Congresswoman Norma J. Torres released the following statement:

"I am honored to return to Guatemala as part of a Congressional Delegation to strengthen the longstanding partnership between our nations. Throughout my career, I have worked to ensure that the United States remains a constructive partner in advancing shared priorities with Guatemala, including promoting democratic governance, combating corruption, expanding economic opportunity, and protecting human rights.

This visit is an opportunity to engage directly with government officials and the business sector to hear about employment opportunities for Guatemalan youth, as well as to better understand the progress and challenges facing Guatemala today. I am interested to learn more about how the demise of USAID is affecting the people of Guatemala and the broader region.

A stable, secure, and prosperous Guatemala is critical not only for the Guatemalan people but also for the broader stability of the region and the security of the United States. I look forward to productive discussions during this visit and to continuing our collective work to build a more democratic, just, and prosperous future for all."
