Spain to contribute $58.6 million for Guatemala reconstruction and change

Spain will contribute a total of $58.6 million for Guatemalan reconstruction over the next two years, Madrid’s secretary of state for international cooperation said.

“We are supporting this project because we consider it important and because the plan is worth it,” Soraya Rodríguez said in her speech at the final phase of the International Conference for the Reconstruction and Transformation of Guatemala.

“We strongly support this plan, but we ask Guatemala to make a national effort, with budgets and contributions provided by the Guatemalans themselves,” the Spanish official said.
