On May 14, 2025, Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with Foreign Secretary of Mexico Juan Ramón de la Fuente in Beijing.

Wang Yi said that China and Mexico share a similar history of a bitter past and have a common pursuit for development, and the two countries both are members of the Global South with significant influence. China has consistently supported the integration process in Latin America and the efforts of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries to achieve strength through unity. China appreciates Mexico's important role in promoting overall cooperation between China and LAC countries. China is ready to work with Mexico to strengthen solidarity and cooperation, enhance communication and coordination within multilateral frameworks, jointly safeguard each other's legitimate rights and interests, uphold and practice multilateralism, resist and oppose unilateral acts, defend free trade rules, and advocate for an equal and orderly multipolar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization.

Wang Yi stated that China places China-Mexico relations in an important position in its diplomacy toward LAC. China is ready to follow the guidance of the important common understandings reached between the two heads of state, strengthen strategic mutual trust with Mexico, share its experience in comprehensively advancing Chinese modernization and the opportunities brought by its enormous market, and deepen bilateral cooperation across various fields to accelerate their respective development and revitalization. China welcomes more quality Mexican products to enter the Chinese market and will encourage Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Mexico. Wang Yi expressed the belief that Mexico will provide a friendly and stable business environment. As two ancient civilizations with deep roots, China and Mexico should enhance people-to-people and cultural exchanges and further facilitate mutual visits.

Juan Ramón de la Fuente extended congratulations to the Chinese side on the successful holding of the new Ministerial Meeting on the 10th anniversary of the official launch of the China-CELAC Forum. He expressed confidence that with joint efforts from both sides, LAC-China cooperation will usher in a more remarkable decade ahead. Mexico and China share a long-standing friendship, similar philosophies, and mutual respect. Mexico is willing to work with China to uphold the multilateral system and a rules-based international order. Last year, the two heads of state held an important meeting in Rio de Janeiro, which led to fruitful outcomes in the Mexico-China comprehensive strategic partnership. Mexico upholds its sovereignty and independence, and will continue to abide by the one-China principle, an established diplomatic position. Mexico is also willing to further strengthen cooperation with China in connectivity, science and technology, agriculture, tourism, direct flights and other sectors, so as to continuously enrich Mexico-China relations.
