“We accompanied Mexican Ambassador Miguel Diaz in laying a wreath at the Benito Juarez monument,” Jose Carlos Rodriguez, deputy director-general for MINREX´s Latin America and the Caribbean Department, tweeted.

Juarez stood out for having serving as Mexican President from December 8, 1857, to July 18, 1872. Juarez is known as the Benemérito de las Américas for his relentless defense of Mexico´s freedom and independence.
