The land borders, which have been closed since the COVID pandemic hit the country in 2020, will be reopened “in early 2022,” the Government of Belize (GOB) announced via press release today.
The release, which principally informed that the Prime Minister and his team had met with representatives from the Belize Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), stated that the “details of the reopening are to be further discussed in Cabinet and protocols would be announced to the public as soon as these are finalized.”
According to the release, the land border matter was the main focus of the BCCI-GOB meeting, held at the Prime Minister’s Belize City office. In addition, the statement added that a “commitment was made by the Prime Minister to take back to Cabinet the various recommendations offered by the BCCI to be considered upon the reopening of the borders.”
