Mexico relocates embassy operations to Baku from Iran

Mexico’s embassy in Iran will continue its operations from Baku, following the evacuation of diplomatic staff, according to Mexico’s Ambassador to Iran, Guillermo Alejandro Puente Ordorica, who was relocated to Azerbaijan.

Speaking to reporters, the ambassador highlighted the friendly ties between Mexico and Azerbaijan and explained the reasons for the temporary relocation, Caliber.Az reports via local media. 

“My government has instructed me to establish our embassy here with the support of the Azerbaijani government and Mexico's embassy in Azerbaijan. That is why my team and I are here. As can be seen, the situation in Iran is complex, and this is one of the reasons for our coming here.

Azerbaijan is a very friendly country. Very good bilateral relations exist between Mexico and Azerbaijan. I actually come to Azerbaijan quite often. During my years in the position of ambassador to Iran, I have also come here several times. However, this time, as I said, I have come to work in Baku with my team, to support the Mexican community in Iran. We hope that this situation we are currently observing will soon find a peaceful resolution," he said.
