Through the Mexican Agency for International Cooperation for Development (Amexcid), the federal government has signed several agreements with the United Nations System (UNS).
The deals aim to strengthen cooperation in sectors such as health, education, social development, gender equality, reproductive health, child rights and agricultural development.
The agreements are part of goals included in the National Development Plan which seeks to boost cooperation with other developing countries.
“This collaboration illustrates the importance of consistency in policies within the country as well as policies that affect the international community,” Foreign Relations Secretary José Antonio Meade said during an interview.
Meade also reported that there is an overall healthy presence of Mexicans in Brazil attending the World Cup, saying that “fans have been enjoying their stay in Brazil during this ... competition, which yesterday gave Mexicans reason to rejoice.
“So far, there have only been minor incidents, such as loss of passports, a couple of injuries sustained by players during games, and a fan who broke his arm but received treatment,” Meade said. “The incidents were resolved by consular authorities we have who work in good coordination with Brazilian.”
Regarding the arrest of the alleged Mexican drug trafficker in Rio de Janeiro, who was preparing to travel to Fortaleza to attend the Mexico-Brazil match, Meade said that consular assistance was provided to him just as as it would have been to any other Mexican.
