Mexico In Belize NEWSLETTER
ON THIS EDITION
Message from the Ambassador of Mexico in Belize, Martha Zamarripa Rivas It is an honor for me to represent my country as the first female Ambassador of Mexico to Belize and the 11 Representant of Mexico in the country. Our shared history began with a new era in 1981, when we established diplomatic relations and continues to this day with the strengthening of our friendship through cultural, historical, economic exchange and with the people who make it possible: our Belizean and Mexican brothers and sisters. We hope to bring you relevant topics of interest from our colorful Mexico to this beautiful Caribbean country through this page. We will broadcast relevant topics and events from the Embassy, and of course, the Mexican Cultural Institute. Welcome!

Visit to the Belize-Guatemala Adjacency Zone On December 3, the Office in the Adjacency Zone of the Organization of American States received the Ambassador of Mexico in Belize and her team with great hospitality. The Adjacency Zone is an imaginary line between two countries, in this case, Belize and Guatemala. Its purpose is to promote peace. One of the Belize-Guatemala Adjacency Zone office projects is to bring potable water to communities that do not have this vital resource. We also had the opportunity to learn about our Mexican compatriots' work, Dr. Juan Carlos Amador and Mtro. Sergio Lopez.
