Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel is one of the 16 leaders who will attend the inauguration of elected president of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum on the first of October.
On that day, Sheinbaum will take office in the Chamber of Deputies of the Congress of that country, becoming the first woman to hold the position in Mexico.
In the list shared by the elected president herself, the absence of presidents from European countries stands out, emphasizing the presence of dignitaries from South America and the Caribbean.
On June 2nd, Sheinbaum achieved a historic victory in the Mexican electoral contest, representing the continuity of the Morena party in the presidency of the Republic, founded by the current president Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
At 61 years old and originally from Mexico City, Sheinbaum has promised to govern for all citizens, but her ability to tackle economic and security challenges, without resorting to populism and without relying on López Obrador's legacy, remains to be seen. The new president will need to demonstrate that she can implement effective and sustainable policies instead of merely following her predecessor's rhetoric.
A few days ago, on the occasion of a new anniversary of Mexican independence, on September 15, Díaz-Canel expressed support for both López Obrador and his successor, wishing them success in the celebration of this anniversary of Mexican Independence and referring to the recent approval of a controversial reform of the judiciary.
During AMLO's six-year term, which began in December 2018, the Cuban leader visited Mexico on at least five official occasions, while the Mexican leader only went to Cuba once, in his capacity as President of the United Mexican States.
Díaz-Canel's last stay in Mexico was to attend a Migration Summit called "Meeting for a Fraternal Neighborhood and in Search of Well-Being," which took place on Sunday, October 22, 2023, in Palenque, in the state of Chiapas, in the south of the country.
