Sheinbaum proposes Roberto Velasco as Mexico's new foreign minister
Claudia Sheinbaum announced she will propose Roberto Velasco Álvarez, former undersecretary for North America, as Mexico's new foreign minister, replacing Juan Ramón de la Fuente.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has announced a significant change in the country's Foreign Ministry. In an official statement, Sheinbaum revealed that she will propose to the Senate of the Republic that Roberto Velasco Álvarez take over as head of the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs, ending the tenure of Juan Ramón de la Fuente.
Roberto Velasco Álvarez, who until April 1 of this year served as undersecretary for North America, is an official with extensive experience in international affairs. His appointment reflects the government's intention to strengthen diplomatic relations, particularly with neighboring countries such as the United States and Canada.
This move occurs in a context of renewal in Mexican foreign policy, aiming to address key challenges like migration, trade, and regional cooperation. Sheinbaum's proposal must be ratified by the Senate, where an evaluation process and possible confirmation are expected in the coming weeks.
The departure of Juan Ramón de la Fuente marks the end of an era in the Foreign Ministry, while the arrival of Velasco Álvarez could drive new strategies in Mexican diplomacy, focused on stability and development in North America and beyond.
