Mexican President Will Co-Chair Summit in Belize
posted (October 17, 2017)
Belize has a very special guest coming to visit on October 25th. The President of Mexico Enrique Pena Nieto will make his first visit to Belize for a quick half day of official business.

He has been indicted by Prime Minister Dean Barrow to co-chair the fourth CARICOM- Mexico Summit to be held in Belize City.

At the Summit he is expected to endorse the importance of Mexico's cooperation with the Caribbean in security, climate change, and the prevention of natural disasters. His participation will underscore 35 years of friendly relations between Belize and Mexico.

The participation of President Nieto is considered a big diplomatic score for Belize. His predecessor Felipe Calderon came to Belize early in his term, and received the order of Belize. Pena-Nieto is coming at the end of his term - which finishes in 2018. He is expected to take questions at a press conference on the evening of October 25th.
