Mexico's chancellor arrives in Washington for meeting with Marco Rubio this Wednesday

Mexico's Foreign Minister Roberto Velasco arrived in Washington D.C. on Tuesday, following a two-day work trip in Seoul. His visit to the U.S. capital is set for a crucial meeting with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The agenda for their discussion includes key priorities for the bilateral relationship between Mexico and the United States. Velasco expressed his anticipation for the meetings on social media, highlighting the importance of addressing shared concerns.

This meeting follows a productive phone call between Velasco and Rubio in June, where both officials reaffirmed their commitment to cooperation. Their previous conversation touched upon security, migration, and trade, occurring in a cordial and respectful atmosphere.

Key topics expected to be on the table include cooperation on border security and the fight against organized crime. Velasco's visit comes shortly after the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ronald Johnson, announced the handover of 10 fugitives wanted for serious crimes in Mexico by U.S. authorities. This extradition effort is part of ongoing security cooperation between the two nations.
