And keeping it on Belize/Guatemala relations, on the Saturday the 10th, Taiwanese Ambassador Benjamin Ho made a donation to Foreign Affairs CEO Lawrence Sylvestre. That donation - of an undisclosed amount - will go directly to the work of the OAS Adjacency Zone Office.
The statements from the Government of Belize and the Taiwanese Embassy both omit how much money was donated, but they note that of the OAS Representative in Belize, Starret Greene, witnessed the handing over ceremony.
The donation is a response to a joint request submitted by Foreign Affairs Ministers Carlos Raul Morales, and Wilfred Elrington to the Government of Taiwan. In a statement, The Taiwanese say quote, "The Republic of China (Taiwan) firmly believes that it will be greatly encouraging if more international partners actively participate in this great program to facilitate the peaceful process between Belize and Guatemala." End Quote.
As we have reported funding form friendly nations for the OAS Adjacency Zone office has been drying up because the process is not building to any foreseeable conclusion or bi national referendums.
