Mexico's Senate ratified Roberto Velasco as foreign secretary on April 8, replacing Juan Ramón de la Fuente who took health-related leave. The appointment was backed by Morena and allies but opposed by PAN and PRI over Velasco's rejection of a UN report on forced disappearances. Velasco pledged cooperation with international bodies and reaffirmed support for Cuba.
Juan Ramón de la Fuente has resigned as head of Mexico's Secretariat of Foreign Affairs (SRE) due to back health issues requiring full rehabilitation. President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the departure and will nominate current North America subsecretary Roberto Velasco Álvarez as his successor. Velasco's appointment requires Senate ratification.
