Earlier in the news, you heard the Senators debating the amendment to the Referendum Act. But, while there is so much public controversy over tense Belize/Guatemala relations, at the military level, the Guatemalan Armed Forces and the Belize Defence Force continue to enjoy peaceful and cordial relationship along the area known as the adjacency zone.
That's certainly the type of interaction you can see in these photos released on the Guatemalan Military Twitter page yesterday. Soldiers from both the BDF and the GAF have their national flags raised side by side.
We couldn't reach BDF Commander General Jones for comment today, but last year, he told the press that these joint patrol link-ups happened over 200 times in 2016.
