Giammattei announced Thursday the official break in relations with the Government of Venezuela and the complete shutdown of the Guatemalan diplomatic mission in Venezuela, APA reports quoting the state-run Guatemalan media.
Guatemalan President-elect Alejandro Giammattei vowed earlier he would cut off political relationship with Caracas after his inauguration in January 2020, recognizing instead the authority of self-proclaimed interim Venezuela's president Juan Guaido.
