## History

[edit]

Dominica and Mexico established diplomatic relations on 3 April 1979.[1] Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, relations between both nations have taken place primarily in multilateral forums. In February 2010, Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit paid a visit to Cancún to attend the Mexico-Caribbean Community (CARICOM) summit.[2] In May 2014, Dominican Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit returned to Mexico to attend the Mexico-Caribbean Community summit in Mérida.[3] During the reunion, both nations signed an Agreement for Cooperation in Development.[4]

In 2014, Mexican Foreign Minister José Antonio Meade paid a visit to Dominica for high-level talks with Dominican officials.[5] That same year, the Mexican government donated US$500 thousand, which were used by the Dominican government for the reconstruction of the sectors that were damaged as a result of the torrential rains that took place in 2013. In August 2015, Dominica suffered heavily from Tropical Storm Erika. As a result, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto authorized the donation of US$250 thousand to Dominica. The funds were transferred in April 2016.[1]

In March 2017, Mexico opened an honorary consulate in Roseau.[1] In June 2017, Dominican Foreign Minister Francine Baron paid a visit to Mexico to attend the 47th General Assembly of the Organization of American States in Cancún.[6] In December 2018, Mexico offered to assist with the construction of the Marigot Hospital, that will be funded with US$5 million.[7]

Each year, the Mexican government offers scholarships for nationals of Dominica to study postgraduate studies at Mexican higher education institutions.[1] In 2021, Prime Minister Skerries returned to Mexico to attend the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States summit in Mexico City.[8]

In 2024, both nations celebrated 45 years of diplomatic relations. In October 2024, President Sylvanie Burton travelled to Mexico to attend the inauguration of President Claudia Sheinbaum.[9]
