History

Mexico recognized the newly independent Slovenia on 22 May 1992. In 1996, Mexico opened an honorary consulate in Ljubljana. [2] In 1998, Slovene Ambassador, Dimitrij Rupel, declared that there are deep bilateral relations between his country and Mexico, and that Slovenia will support Mexico in any international forum, since Mexico is part of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which provides opportunities to increase commerce and investments between Slovenia and North America. In October 1998, Prime Minister Janez Drnovšek became the first Slovene head of state to visit Mexico. [2]

In August 2003, both nations participated in the Mixed Commission for Cooperation in the fields of Education and Culture. Both sides underlined that the session of the Mixed Commission presented a good opportunity for the establishment of foundations for mutual relations in the fields of education, science, culture and sport, as well as for reflection on the role of international co-operation as a factor for social change and as an essential means for the realization of global and sustainable development of countries. To this end, the signatories started a program of cooperation for the period 2003 to 2007, in which the two countries agreed on mutual collaboration in the fields of primary, secondary, post-secondary and higher education; scholarship and residential exchange programes. [2]

In May 2006, Mexican President Vicente Fox met with Slovene Prime Minister Janez Janša in Vienna, where both leaders were attending the IV Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union Summit. [2] In December 2007, Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa Cantellano became the highest-level Mexican official to visit Slovenia and she met with Slovene Prime Minister Janez Janša. [2] In September 2016, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto had a brief meeting with Slovene President Borut Pahor in Jerusalem. [2]

In 2023, both nations celebrated 31 years of diplomatic relations. [3]
