President Tharman to head to Mexico today in first state visit to Latin America
The Straits Times
|November 30, 2025
President Tharman Shanmugaratnam will be in Mexico from Nov 30 to Dec 3 for his first state visit to Latin America. His visit, at the invitation of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, will also commemorate 50 years of diplomatic ties between Singapore and Mexico.
It comes after several recent ministerial-level meetings with Mexican counterparts.
In end-October, Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu met Mexico’s Secretary of Economy Marcelo Ebrard Casaubon on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Ministerial Meeting in South Korea. Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan met his counterpart Juan Ramon de la Fuente Ramirez on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York in September.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Nov 29 that President Tharman will be accorded a state welcome at the National Palace in Mexico City and meet Ms Sheinbaum.
