- A national and historical occasion commemorating the launch of Mexico’s independence journey on September 16, 1810, and embodying the entrenched values of freedom, sovereignty, unity, and national identity. The Embassy of Mexico in the State of Kuwait proudly celebrates the bicentennial of Mexico’s independence, a national and historical occasion that recalls the beginning of Mexico’s path to independence on September 16, 1810, and embodies the enduring values of freedom, sovereignty, unity, and national identity. On this occasion, His Excellency Mr. Eduardo Patricio Peña Haller, Ambassador of Mexico to the State of Kuwait, conveyed his sincere congratulations, reaffirming Mexico’s commitment to further strengthening the bonds of friendship, mutual respect, and cooperation between Mexico and the State of Kuwait. His Excellency the Ambassador stated, “Mexico and Kuwait share robust relations built on mutual respect, constructive dialogue, and a shared commitment to international cooperation. As Mexico celebrates its Independence Day, we look forward to continuing to build bridges of communication between our two countries and exploring new horizons for cooperation that will benefit our two friendly peoples.” Diplomatic relations between Mexico and Kuwait were established in 1975, and over the past five decades, these relations have seen steady development across various political, economic, and cultural fields, alongside growing people-to-people exchanges and interaction. The fiftieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, celebrated in 2025, was a highly significant occasion to highlight the depth of these ties and renew the shared commitment to expanding bilateral cooperation. Mexico places great importance on its relations with the State of Kuwait and highly values Kuwait’s constructive role in supporting dialogue, peaceful settlement of disputes, and enhancing international cooperation. Mexico continues to commit to working closely with the State of Kuwait within the United Nations and other multilateral forums, in support of peace, sustainable development, respect for international law, and the strengthening of multilateralism. The year 2026 holds particular significance for Mexico on the international stage, given its joint hosting of the FIFA World Cup 2026 alongside Canada and the United States of America. Mexico made history as the first country to host the FIFA World Cup finals for the third time, with matches held in Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey. The World Cup is not merely a global sporting event; it also presents an opportunity to enhance cultural exchange, tourism, friendship, and understanding among peoples. In this context, the Embassy looks forward to encouraging further sports cooperation between Mexico and Kuwait, particularly in the fields of football, youth development, sports training, and the exchange of expertise and collaboration between the sports institutions of both countries. On this auspicious national occasion, the Embassy of Mexico expresses its sincere appreciation to the government and people of the State of Kuwait for the genuine feelings of friendship and respect they demonstrate, their continued support and hospitality, and the warm welcome and appreciation extended to the Mexican community in the State of Kuwait. It also views with appreciation Kuwait’s historic role as a mediator in promoting stability in the Middle East and hopes that peace and prosperity will return to the countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council. On this glorious national celebration, Mexico extends its sincerest wishes to the State of Kuwait and its noble people for continued prosperity, stability, and well-being, and reaffirms its resolve to further deepen and elevate the bonds of friendship and cooperation between Mexico and Kuwait to broader horizons that serve the common interests of the two countries and their friendly peoples.
