Guatemala, an ancient center of Mayan culture located in the southern part of the North American continent, is embracing new perspectives on global development. With a population of approximately 18.92 million people across an area of about 110,000 square kilometers, this nation is seeking inspiration from across the globe.
Claudia Méndez Arriaza, a distinguished Guatemalan media professional, recently attended an academic seminar in China and toured several of its bustling cities. Immersed in China’s long history and rich cultural heritage, she was profoundly impressed by the nation’s rapid modernization and development.
“China is a great nation with a history that spans millennia,” Méndez Arriaza remarked. “Its journey towards modernization is remarkable, and there’s much that countries like Guatemala can learn from its experiences.”
She emphasized the importance of understanding China’s development process, noting that sharing such experiences can foster growth and cooperation among nations worldwide. Méndez Arriaza believes that increased cultural and educational exchanges can bridge gaps and build stronger international relationships.
Her visit to China not only deepened her appreciation for its ancient traditions but also highlighted the dynamic progress the country has made in recent decades. She encourages more professionals and scholars from Guatemala and other countries to explore China’s unique blend of history and modernity.
