Postcard From Taiwan: the Holiday Islands on the Frontline

Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo visited Taiwan from June 4 to 8, 2025, reaffirming Guatemala's formal support in Taipei.
Arevalo's visit follows ongoing diplomatic pressure from China to isolate Taiwan and continued U.S. support for Guatemala's alliance with Taiwan.
The visit included a welcome by Taiwan's Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung, a state banquet hosted by President Lai Ching-te, and speeches emphasizing 90 years of brotherly friendship.
Arevalo stated Guatemala would always be Taiwan's ally and highlighted a shared commitment to democracy, while Lai described the two peoples as sharing 'democratic DNA' and called for deeper cooperation.
The visit aims to strengthen bilateral ties amid a shifting geopolitical landscape and signals a strategic alliance dedicated to mutual well-being and resisting authoritarian pressure.
