President of the Mexican Senate, Ernesto Cordero , thanked His Excellency for the work performed jointly with the Upper Chamber to achieve an outstanding bilateral relationship in matters of culture and economy.
“We have 50,000 Mexicans over there, please take care of them for me. They can be a handful but they are peaceful. Let's hope the teams achieve good results and everyone stays safe,” said Cordero, referring to the World Cup currently being held in Russia.
