By Breaking Belize News Staff (HP): Taiwan’s Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung is on his way to Belize, and he is not coming alone.
Lin departed Taiwan on Sunday with a business delegation of more than 30 representatives, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The trip will take him to Belize and Guatemala, Taiwan’s two diplomatic allies in Central America.
The goal is to strengthen economic cooperation.
While in Belize, Lin is scheduled to meet with Prime Minister John Briceño. He will also inspect several projects funded by Taiwan in the country.
The delegation covers a wide range of industries. Among them are green energy and smart transportation, artificial intelligence and space technology, biotechnology, health care, tourism, and finance and trade.
The US Taiwan Business Council, which promotes trade and business links between the United States and Taiwan, is also part of the delegation.
After Belize, Lin will travel to Guatemala, where he will meet with President Bernardo Arévalo. He will also attend a reception marking 92 years of diplomatic relations between Taiwan and Guatemala, along with Taiwan’s National Day.
The ministry did not say when Lin and the delegation will return to Taiwan.
The visit is part of what Taiwan calls the Diplomatic Allies Prosperity Project. Since taking office in May 2024, Lin has travelled to Taiwan’s allies around the world with business delegations in tow, aiming to deepen strategic and economic cooperation and strengthen diplomatic ties.
For Belize, the visit opens the door to new conversations in sectors that could shape the country’s economic future, from renewable energy to tourism and technology.
The timing is also notable. The visit comes as regional tensions remain in focus, with Belize raising concerns over recent Guatemalan incursions into its territory and airspace.
