MINEX Guatemala, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Guatemala, shared updates on cultural diplomacy, international meetings, and heritage recovery through its official Twitter account in early November 2025.

On November 4, MINEX Guatemala announced an upcoming concert organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Türkiye. The tweet stated: "#DiplomaciaCulturalGT | La Embajada de la República de Türkiye le invita al concierto 'ALLA TURCA ORNAMENTI' Un evento que interpretará los sonidos únicos de la música clásica turca, tanto instrumental como vocal, utilizando instrumentos autóctonos de Türkiye sábado 8 https://t.co/Z3OaZmMAGi".

The following day, MINEX Guatemala reported on Vice Minister Mónica Bolaños Pérez’s participation in regional diplomatic meetings. On November 5, the ministry posted: "La #ViceCancillerGT Mónica Bolaños Pérez participa en las Reuniones de Coordinadores Nacionales de la Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños (CELAC), que se llevan a cabo el 4 y 5 de noviembre en Santa Marta, Colombia, como antesala de la IV Cumbre CELAC-UE. https://t.co/QWOidpGyuc".

Later that same day, MINEX Guatemala published news regarding cultural heritage preservation. The tweet read: "Guatemala recupera 61 bienes del patrimonio cultural guatemalteco provenientes de México. #Comunicado https://t.co/TIHAggvsjS https://t.co/IePuCgkvbU".

MINEX Guatemala serves as the government body responsible for conducting foreign relations and representing Guatemalan interests abroad. Cultural events such as those promoted with Turkey form part of ongoing efforts to strengthen international ties and promote national heritage. Participation in organizations like CELAC allows Guatemala to engage with other Latin American and Caribbean states on issues including diplomacy and development. The recovery of cultural property is an ongoing priority for many countries in Latin America seeking to reclaim artifacts held abroad.
