On Tuesday, February 24, from 3:00 to 4:15 p.m. ET, the Atlantic Council’s Adrienne Arsht Latin America Center (AALAC), in partnership with the Foundation for the Development of Guatemala (Fundesa), will host a conversation on the evolving US-Guatemala commercial and investment landscape.

In late January, Guatemala became the second country in the hemisphere to sign a reciprocal trade agreement with the United States, months after reforms to its public-private partnership law to accelerate infrastructure investment and enable private-sector participation in strategic projects. Experts will explore how these developments could unlock opportunities for US companies, shape investment in infrastructure and key industries, and advance shared priorities.

This discussion is the third in an AALAC-Fundesa series focused on identifying beneficial opportunities to drive prosperity in Guatemala and the United States.

New policy: In-person attendees will be required to show photo ID upon arrival, and no on-site registration will be permitted. Guests will not be admitted later than twenty minutes after the event’s start time. Registration for this event will close at 5:00 p.m. ET the day prior.
