Angola-Guatemala relations

Angola	Guatemala

Angola–Guatemala relations are the international relations between Angola and Guatemala. The two countries have not established diplomatic relations with each other.^[1]

Guatemala does not maintain diplomatic relations with almost 38 countries, the vast majority of which are in Africa and Asia, including Angola.^[2]

Angola is one of the countries that must process a Guatemalan visa at the Diplomatic Representations, Embassies or Consulates of Guatemala abroad.^[3]

In 2011, the vice presidents of Angola and Guatemala, Fernando da Piedade Dias dos Santos and Rafael Espada respectively, coincided on a visit to Cuba.^[4] Later in 2015, the government of Guatemala began a process of dialogue with the government of Angola, but so far no agreement has been reached.^[5][6]

In 2023, bilateral trade between Angola and Guatemala remained minimal, totaling approximately $0.2 million. Angola's exports to Guatemala were valued at around $5,280, comprising primarily iron housewares and suits. Conversely, Guatemala exported approximately $216,000 worth of goods to Angola, with the main products being non-knit active wear ($64,000), and cars ($46,500).^[7] The composition of this limited trade volume has changed widely over the years.^[8] Prior to 2020, Guatemala exported raw sugar to Angola.^[9]
