In this regard, he reiterated the position of the Mexican Government in favor of dialogue and negotiation as “the only legitimate and effective ways to resolve existing differences.”

He also offered Mexico's support for “any effort to facilitate dialogue, mediation or accompaniment that promotes peace in the region.”
