Mexico trusts to continue the “approach” with Spain to build a “new stage”

Mexico City.- Mexico’s Foreign Minister, Roberto Velasco, assured this Wednesday that his Government wants to continue the “rapprochement” with Spain and build a “new stage” in the bilateral relationship, after his meeting with the Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, on an official visit to the North American country and who also met with President Claudia Sheinbaum. “We will be very pleased to continue working on these and other projects that we discussed today with President Sheinbaum, with you and with your team. So, really, count on us to continue this rapprochement of two countries that were already close and that are once again meeting to build a new stage,” the official declared in a message with his Spanish counterpart at the end of the meeting. Likewise, the head of Mexican diplomacy valued the “relevance” of the existing relationship with Spain, something that, in his opinion, “exceeds the everyday.”

Sheinbaum and Albares discussed the “bilateral relationship” between Spain and Mexico, according to sources from the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The meeting, which was not scheduled in the official agenda, takes place just a few days after the two countries symbolized the normalization of their relations in Barcelona, with the meeting between the President of the Spanish Government, Pedro Sánchez, and President Sheinbaum. The Spanish minister, on his third visit to Mexico, plans to meet this afternoon with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Roberto Velasco, with whom he will sign the Act of the Spain-Mexico Binational Commission, in “reflection of the good health of the fraternal relations existing between both countries”, according to the official statement.
