CCC to Accelerate Canadian Defence Exports to Guatemala
OTTAWA, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- CCC is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of National Defence of the Republic of Guatemala. The agreement establishes a government-to-government (G2G) framework to support Guatemala’s expedited procurement of Canadian defence and security solutions.
Through its G2G model, CCC enables Canadian defence and security industries to meet Guatemala’s requirements while reducing risk and simplifying procurement. G2G contracts are signed in the name of the Government of Canada, providing Guatemala with fast, reliable access to qualified Canadian suppliers. Each contract includes an assurance of contract performance backed by the Canadian government, and aligns with Canada’s rigorous integrity and compliance standards.
Guatemala’s Ministry of National Defence is seeking to strengthen cooperation across key domains where Canada’s defence industry is well positioned to contribute. Canadian solutions align with Guatemala’s priorities in air and land mobility, surveillance, training, cyber, and logistics. Together, they deliver interoperable, resilient, and cost-effective capabilities for humanitarian, disaster response, and security operations.
This agreement builds on CCC’s growing defence export relationship with Guatemala, including a recent contract to supply a Canadian-built Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft. The aircraft is supporting medical evacuation, disaster relief, and humanitarian assistance.
