Claudia Sheinbaum’s swearing-in marks a milestone in Mexico’s political landscape, as she becomes the first woman to hold the highest office in the country. As the former mayor of Mexico City and a member of the Morena party, Sheinbaum has been an influential figure in Mexican politics, advocating for progressive policies and greater inclusion.
Briceño’s message comes as Belize and Mexico continue to strengthen their ties in areas such as trade, security, and regional cooperation. Both nations are members of key organizations like the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (CELAC), and they share a commitment to advancing mutual interests in the region.
Belize has long maintained a friendly and cooperative relationship with Mexico, with both countries working together on initiatives that support economic growth and cultural exchange. Briceño’s well-wishes underscore Belize’s commitment to fostering this relationship under Sheinbaum’s leadership.
Sheinbaum’s presidency is expected to bring new perspectives to Mexico’s role in regional and global affairs. As her administration begins, leaders across Latin America and the Caribbean are keen to see how her policies will influence the trajectory of Mexico’s diplomacy and partnerships.
