Carlos Raúl Morales Moscoso (born 7 October 1970) is the current Minister of Foreign Affairs of Guatemala.
Due to the foreign policy of Guatemala towards Belize, he left office on November 2011, so he could continue serving as the executive secretary of the Commission of Belize of Guatemala, until this unit was shut down by president Pérez Molina on February 2012.
After that, he assumed the office of the vice minister again, and held the position until his nomination as minister. During his time in office, he handled the bilateral and multilateral agenda, among other tasks.
Morales was sworn by President Otto Pérez Molina as the Foreign Affairs Minister on 18 September 2014. He replaced Fernando Carrera, who was designated as the Ambassador to the United Nations. Morales is the third foreign affairs minister under Perez Molina's administration.
