Overview

• An agreement signed by Foreign Secretary Juan Ramón de la Fuente and published in the Diario Oficial de la Federación takes effect the day after publication and applies to future nominations.
• Appointees who are not members of the Servicio Exterior Mexicano must complete the program before Senate ratification or before transfer to their assigned post, with only limited exceptions.
• The Instituto Matías Romero will deliver the courses, which cover foreign‑policy principles, Mexico’s diplomacy, legal and institutional frameworks, consular protection and services, and administrative management of missions.
• Instruction is preferably in person and may be supplemented with online modules and targeted briefings through the institute’s virtual campus.
• Coverage notes the policy follows scrutiny of recent non‑career appointments, including Genaro Lozano, Rutilio Escandón, Luis Rodríguez Bucio and Claudia Pavlovich.
