Overview
- Arriving Thursday night from Brazil, Emmanuel Macron is set for roughly 24 hours in Mexico that include an official reception at the National Palace, a private meeting with President Claudia Sheinbaum, expanded cabinet talks, business sessions and a joint press conference.
- The Élysée says Macron is traveling with French business leaders to promote new investment, increase the presence of French companies in Mexico and showcase France's attractiveness to Mexican investors.
- Mexican officials plan to press for a special commission to facilitate access or restitution of the Códice Azcatitlán for scholarly study as part of the visit's cultural agenda.
