The article highlights the significant role of Mexicans living in the UK, numbering between 12,000 and 18,000, with around 40% being students. It points out that the image of Mexicans in the UK often overlooks their contributions to fostering a positive representation of Mexico abroad. The growing interest in Mexican culture, including art, music, and cuisine, creates a pivotal moment for re-evaluating the bilateral relations between Mexico and the UK.

Central to this initiative is the Mexican Chamber of Commerce in the UK (MexCC), now led by Katya Torres de la Rocha. Founded in 2011 by Yves Hayaux du Tilly, MexCC's mission is to connect Mexico with the global community. It has been instrumental in promoting trade, investment, and strategic collaboration between Mexico and the UK, contributing to a stronger economic partnership. The chamber works to enhance the visibility of Mexican entrepreneurs and their contributions to the British economy.

Katya, who is also the CEO of MexGrocer, embodies the spirit of cultural entrepreneurship. Her leadership at MexCC aims to not only bolster Mexican businesses in the UK but also to celebrate and share the richness of Mexican culture, ultimately strengthening the ties between the two nations. This focus on economic diplomacy and leadership is crucial for Mexicans abroad to redefine their representation in a foreign country and promote mutual understanding.
