Guatemala welcomes reports that Spain will increase its quota for the number of temporary workers coming from Central America, the government said on Thursday.
The comments followed a report on Wednesday by news outlet Axios that Spain is expected to double or triple the number of temporary workers accepted from Central America through an already-established program based on employment status.
"We are very pleased with the willingness of the government of Spain to work together with Guatemala in favor of workers," the Guatemalan government told Reuters in a statement.
