Officials stress dialogue as the sole route to a peaceful resolution.

Overview

  • Juan Ramón de la Fuente resumed leadership after medical leave and opened the annual meeting of ambassadors and consuls in Mexico City.
  • A video message from President Claudia Sheinbaum rejected U.S. military intervention in Venezuela, aligning with the foreign minister’s position.
  • Mexico called on the UN Security Council, meeting today, to act with greater determination consistent with international law.
  • De la Fuente criticized the UN’s inefficiency in containing hegemonic abuses and said the international community is divided rather than united in defending the rule of law.
