The Guatemalan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MINEX Guatemala) shared updates on November 5, 2025, regarding the country's diplomatic activities and international engagements through a series of posts on its official Twitter account.

In a post published at 20:46 UTC, MINEX Guatemala announced, "En la Sesión Ordinaria del Consejo Permanente de la @OEA_oficial, se presentó y adoptó por aclamación la Declaración “Apoyo a la democracia y al orden constitucional en Guatemala”. La Declaración, entre otras cosas, exhorta a todas las instituciones del Estado de Guatemala". The session referenced took place within the Permanent Council of the Organization of American States (OAS), which is responsible for addressing urgent matters affecting member states. The declaration was adopted by acclamation and called on all Guatemalan state institutions to support democracy and constitutional order.

Later that evening, at 20:57 UTC, MINEX Guatemala posted about the country's participation in an important trade event: "#DiplomaciaComercialGT | Guatemala participa en la Conferencia Anual de la Asociación de Café de Canadá. Lee la nota https://t.co/VOGTqVJzL9". This announcement highlights Guatemala's ongoing efforts to promote its coffee sector abroad through commercial diplomacy initiatives.

At 21:26 UTC, another update focused on bilateral relations with Uruguay: "#RelacionesConElMundo | Embajador de Guatemala presenta cartas credenciales al presidente de Uruguay. #NotaDePrensa https://t.co/fVlUVw8YkH". This formal act marks the official start of the ambassador's mission in Uruguay and reflects established diplomatic protocols between countries.

The OAS has played a recurring role in supporting democratic processes throughout Latin America. Its declarations are typically intended to reaffirm collective commitment among member states to uphold democratic governance and legal frameworks. Meanwhile, Guatemalan coffee is recognized as one of the country’s major exports and an important contributor to its economy; participation in international conferences such as that hosted by the Canadian Coffee Association serves both economic and diplomatic purposes. Diplomatic credential presentations are standard procedures for ambassadors assuming new posts abroad, signifying mutual recognition between nations.
