Macron to Visit Mexico Nov. 7 as Sheinbaum Prioritizes Return of Pre‑Hispanic Codices

Mexico plans to press for the Códice Borgia’s repatriation during a brief, business‑tied stop marking 200 years of bilateral relations.

Overview

  • President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the date and said Emmanuel Macron will arrive with a French business delegation for meetings with Mexican private‑sector leaders.
  • A joint press conference is planned, and both governments are still finalizing the short agenda.
  • Mexico’s stated priority is the return of the Códice Borgia and another pre‑Hispanic manuscript currently held in France.
  • The trip, postponed from September due to issues in France, will be the first bilateral meeting under Sheinbaum’s administration.
  • Indigenous communities from the Valle del Mezquital have urged the codex’s return for its calendrical and ceremonial significance, including use planned in 2027.
