In the context of the global COVID-19 pandemic，the newly established Laurentino Cortizo government was facing difficulties in pushing forward its political agenda. The division within the ruling party and the conflicts between the government and the legislature caused governance challenges for the new government. The political reforms promised by President Laurentino Cortizo progressed slowly. Economic growth severely declined，the macroeconomic situation deteriorated，and major economic sectors worsened. The government has adopted policy adjustments and financing means to stimulate economic reopening，but the economic recovery was weak. Diplomatic activities have been significantly reduced and the United States was viewed as a priority by the Cortizo government in international relations.
