13 May , 2023  

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba is planning a tour of Latin America in the second half of the year, during which he will visit a number of countries in the region.

“Guatemala had an unprecedented response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russia. We noticed it, and we will always be grateful. That’s why I’m here. But I’m planning a bigger Latin American tour in the second half of the year. And as part of that tour – I intend to visit a number of countries in the region,” Kuleba said at a press conference with Guatemalan Foreign Minister Mario Bucaro.

Kuleba noted that Ukraine now maintains an ongoing dialogue with many Latin American countries at the presidential and foreign minister level.

“For example, yesterday we hosted Celso Amorimo, Chief Adviser of the Special Consultative Service of the Brazilian Presidential Administration, in Kyiv,” the Minister added.

According to the head of the department, 2023 will be “a year of relations with Latin America” for Ukraine.

“You will hear a lot from us. And of course, we will be happy to hear a lot from Latin America and to host visitors from Latin America,” Kuleba said.
