It is time for women and it is time for transformation. I thank you for your decision to join our project in favor of the people of Mexico,” Sheinbaum said at that time.

”For us, Cooperating is sharing the best of Mexico to face global challenges and grow together. In Mexico and the world we work hand in hand with specialists and build strategic alliances with the private and academic sectors, civil society and local governments; to coordinate, plan and evaluate our Cooperation and Promotion efforts (educational, cultural and tourism, technical and scientific, financial and economic). With this we develop capabilities to contribute to sustainable human development, reduce inequality and improve people’s quality of life,” the mission says on its official website.
Through Amexicd, Mexico offers and receives development cooperation.
”On the one hand, we share successful experiences, strengthen capacities and exchange human, technical and financial resources with developing countries, particularly in Central America and the Caribbean. On the other hand, we work with strategic partners to enhance our capabilities, improve our institutions and generate tangible results that strengthen Mexico,” he points out.
