Georgia–Mexico relations are the international relations between Georgia and Mexico. Both nations are members of the United Nations.
History
Diplomatic relations between Georgia and Mexico were established on 8 June 1992 soon after the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[1] Soon after independence, both nations accredited ambassadors to each other via-third nations. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, official relations between both nations have been limited.
In 2008, during the Russo-Georgian War; Mexico remained neutral and asked for both sides to seek peace.[2] Mexico has not recognized the independence of Abkhazia nor South Ossetia and sees them as integral parts of Georgia.[1] In September 2010, Georgian Prime Minister Nika Gilauri attended the bicentennial of Mexican Independence.[2] Later that year in December 2010, former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili attended the UN Conference on Climate Change (COP16) held in Cancún.[2]
In August 2011, Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze paid a visit to Mexico and announced the opening of a Georgian embassy in the country. The embassy was opened later that year in Mexico City.[1] In July 2016, a Mexican Delegation of the Foreign Relations Committee paid a visit to Georgia.[3]
