MEXICO CITY – The 25th National Ambassadors and Consuls Meeting gets underway today at the Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE), wrapping up on the 10th.

Although an agenda for the meeting has not been made public, an SRE press release said that it will be structured around the five main goals that President Enrique Peña Nieto has made a priority during his term as president: Peaceful Mexico, Inclusive Mexico, Mexico with Quality Education, Prosperous Mexico and Mexico as a Globally Responsible Actor.

Mexican ambassadors and consuls from around the world will participate in the meeting, where topics such as the energy reform and tourism promotion will be discussed.

Foreign Affairs Secretary José Antonio Meade will head the event, while other secretaries will offer smaller private meetings on a diverse range of subjects.

Among the Mexican officials to attend are Treasury Secretary Luis Videgaray, Tourism Secretary Claudia Ruiz Massieu, Energy Secretary Pedro Joaquín Coldwell, Michoacán Gov. Fausto Vallejo, Guerrero Gov. Ángel Aguirre, Puebla Gov. Rafael Moreno Valle and Oaxaca Gov. Gabino Cué.

The press release also said that there will be four panels dedicated to priority aspects of Mexico’s international political agenda, such as G-20 perspectives, new educational and research opportunities in the international community, the Post-2015 Development Agenda challenges and the present and future evolution of the Alliance of the Pacific.

The meeting will finish on the 10th with a work-lunch in the National Palace, where the press release says Peña Nieto will talk about his administration’s foreign policy directives and the progress needed to make Mexico a globally responsible actor.
