President congratulates Mexico's new President

President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu has congratulated Claudia Sheinbaum on her historic election as the first female President of the United Mexican States.

In his letter, President Dr. Muizzu highlighted that her electoral victory reflects the trust the Mexican people have in her visionary leadership for the country's future. He also expressed hope for enhancing the existing bilateral cooperation between the Maldives and Mexico as they approach the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations next year. He concluded his letter with warm wishes for President Sheinbaum and the people of Mexico.

Claudia Sheinbaum was sworn in as Mexico's first woman president on Tuesday vowing to ensure that Latin America's No. 2 economy remains a secure destination for international investment. Sheinbaum, a 62-year-old scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, took the oath of office and received the presidential sash in a boisterous ceremony in Mexico's Congress, which marks the start of her six-year term.
