Russia's President Vladimir Putin has offered to work with Guatemala in natural gas processing, Guatemala's Foreign Minister Gert Rosenthal told a press conference.
Putin, who wrapped up a visit to Guatemala on Tuesday, held a "very profitable" half-hour meeting with Guatemalan President Oscar Berger, said Rosenthal.
Noting that "Russia is the number one world natural gas producer and crude oil refiner," Rosenthal said President Putin "spoke about working with Guatemala in the processing of natural gas for energy."
Russia also promised to open an embassy in Guatemala at the end of the year, he added.
Putin arrived on Monday in Guatemala to present the Russian city of Sochi as one of the candidates to host the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) meeting held in Guatemala City.
