Mexico and Spain have agreed to deepen cooperation on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, connectivity and the digitalization of public services.

Mexico's Agency for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications and Spain's Ministry for Digital Transformation and Public Function signed the memorandum at the Mexican agency's headquarters in Mexico City. The agreement focuses on sharing experience and good practices in data centers, AI applications for public services, digital identity, simpler procedures and citizen services.

It also covers cybersecurity, disaster management, training programs, research and joint projects. The two sides plan to work with private companies, academic institutions and research centers to expand the exchange of knowledge and technical capacity.

Mexican agency head José Peña Merino highlighted strategic projects including Nube MX, the National Cybersecurity Plan and the national program for simplifying and digitizing government procedures. Spanish minister Óscar López said Spain's digital strategy centers on companies, industry, rights and training, alongside regulatory updates, university education, industry partnerships and infrastructure projects backed by public and private investment.

During his official visit, López separately encouraged Mexican companies to consider Spain as an investment destination. At a breakfast attended by 15 Mexican and Spanish companies, he said Spain offered “the best conditions for investment” and promoted its economic performance, renewable energy and digital connectivity. He also met Mexico's secretary for Anti-Corruption and Good Government, Raquel Buenrostro.
