Belize City, BELIZE. Thursday, January 12, 2017. The government of Japan has gifted Belize with three high-end utility vehicles.

The trucks are fully outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment in order to serve as on-site command centers.

The trucks are equipped with storage space, sleeping accommodations and bathroom, among other facilities.

It will also give users an opportunity to be able to communicate seamlessly with the rest of the country.

The trucks were handed over in Belize City on Wednesday by the vice Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan Shunsike Takey.

Training will also be provided to Belizeans on how to operate and maintain these vehicles.
