In Belize, the delegation will meet with Prime Minister John Briceño and inspect various Taiwan-funded projects. In Guatemala, Lin is scheduled to meet President Bernardo Arévalo and participate in celebrations for the 92nd anniversary of their diplomatic relations.

Separately, Peruvian President Keiko Fujimori has announced an official visit to El Salvador scheduled for late October.
