In her first big yearly talk, President Claudia Sheinbaum told the people of Mexico that the country is doing well and will do even better. She became the first woman president just 11 months ago, and many people—more than 70%—approve of her work.

Sheinbaum said her government is focused on safety, jobs, health, and education. She explained that crime has gone down and that more hospitals, schools, and roads are being built. She also shared that programs are helping families, older people, and students with money and support.

The president talked about sovereignty, which means that Mexico makes its own choices without other countries telling it what to do. She said she wants a friendship with the United States but always with respect.

She also described infrastructure, like schools, trains, and hospitals, as important for people’s future. Another main point was prosperity, which means that everyone has the chance to live better, not just the rich.

Sheinbaum finished her talk by thanking the people of Mexico and promising to keep working hard for peace and fairness.
