Under Secretary for Economic Growth, Energy, and the Environment Jose W. Fernandez will travel to Guatemala City, Guatemala, to lead the U.S. delegation at the first U.S.-Guatemala High Level Economic Dialogue on March 18.

During his trip, the Under Secretary will meet with Guatemalan officials as well as business, Indigenous, and civil society leaders to promote inclusive economic prosperity, food security, and the creation of good jobs that benefit Guatemalans. We look forward to working with President Arévalo and Vice President Herrera to deepen our countries’ productive partnership and advance joint efforts to address the root causes of irregular migration.
