In the Middle East, many countries are experiencing conflicts and wars. Because of this, the Mexican government has helped 1,337 Mexicans leave the region safely. These people were living or visiting places like the United Arab Emirates and Israel. The Ministry of Foreign Relations in Mexico worked with embassies to arrange safe ways for them to travel back home.
Embassies are important because they help people from their country in foreign lands. The Mexican embassies arranged flights and helped with travel papers. They even helped people travel by land to safer places when flights were not possible. It’s a big job, and the embassies are working hard to make sure everyone is safe.
Mexico has also joined other countries like Colombia and Brazil to ask for peace in the Middle East. They want countries to talk and solve their problems through diplomacy. This way, everyone can be safe and live without fear.
