In April 2021 I participated in a virtual event on migration issues that was also attended by the Ambassador of Mexico to Ireland (see detail in table below).

In the course of 2021 and to date in 2022, my Department has maintained close working relations and extensive contacts at official level with Mexico, both through the Embassy of Mexico to Ireland, and through our Embassy of Ireland in Mexico.

Due to COVID restrictions throughout 2021 and in the early part of 2022, I have not had the opportunity to meet the Ambassador of Mexico to Ireland in person during this time.

I look forward to continuing to work closely with Mexico in the period ahead, on the many issues of shared importance to our two countries.
