A Guatemalan man holds a Taiwanese flag as navy cadets from a friendship squadron from Taiuwan perform in a music band at Constitution Square in Guatemala City on May 3, 2026. The three vessels -- described as being on a training mission -- powered into Puerto Quetzal, a port town on Guatemala's Pacific coast, in a visit "to strengthen the ties of friendship," Guatemalan officials and Taiwanese diplomats said.
