Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated on Tuesday that a meeting with King Felipe VI in Mexico City during the World Cup is probable.
Sheinbaum declared at her morning press conference in the National Palace that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is negotiating with the Spanish Foreign Ministry and the representation of the head of the Spanish state. She indicated she could provide details tomorrow or the day after.
King Felipe VI accepted the invitation to attend the Spain versus Uruguay match on June 26 in Guadalajara. The meeting between the two leaders would take place in Mexico City and not at the match venue.
This possible encounter is part of efforts to normalize bilateral relations after tensions during Andrés Manuel López Obrador's term regarding colonial memory. Felipe VI acknowledged in March abuses during the conquest of America.
