The opening of an El Salvador consulate in Utah is part of a push from El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's administration to open more consulates to address requests from those affected by the country's diaspora.
SALT LAKE CITY — Salvadorans in Utah finally had their requests for a consulate answered earlier this month.
"The importance of having a consulate in our state is huge" she said in Spanish. "The Salvadoran community in Utah is very happy and satisfied because we have a consulate in our state, it's like having a little piece of our country in Utah." Daniel Espinoza said he put off renewing his passport for three months because he didn't have the time to make the trip to Las Vegas. He moved to Salt Lake City seven years ago to join family and had made the trip previously.
Pérez, the consul general, estimated the consul has helped about 100 Salvadoran since opening on March 8.
