Diplomacy in Motion: Guatemala’s new ambassador designate to St. Kitts and Nevis, Karla Gabriela Samayoa Recari, presented credentials in a courtesy call, signaling continued regional outreach. Health Watch: A CDC Level 2 travel advisory flags chikungunya risk in Mauritius, and the virus is now reported in multiple countries including Guatemala.
