At the premises of the Metropol Hotel, on the 12th of September, the Mexican Embassy in Belgrade celebrated 214 years of independence
H.E. Ambassador Carlos Felix greeted the audiences with a speech:
“This date is special for all Mexicans within and beyond our borders, during which we celebrate the privilege and honour of belonging to the great Mexican nation. Last June, Mexico ratified its commitment to democracy. More than 93 million voters participated in the general elections, which were held for the first time in our history, a woman was elected president of Mexico, Dr. Claudia Sheinbaum, who will take office on October 1.”
The ambassador also highlighted how Mexico joined the majority of the international community in condemning the territorial aggression towards Ukraine, and likewise, their attitude stays the same towards all acts of terrorism and violence towards innocent civilians in the Middle East.
H.E. Carlos Felix expressed his appreciation of the diplomatic relations between the two countries:
“This year we mark the 78th year of diplomatic relations with Serbia, although there are records that indicate our contacts since 1848. Mexico and Serbia share shared values and similarities that created strong friendships, based on mutual respect.”
