During her press conference, President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed the recent political changes in Peru, particularly the appointment of José Balcázar as the interim president. She emphasized the importance of observing how the new leadership develops before making any decisions regarding the restoration of bilateral relations between Mexico and Peru. Sheinbaum called for a respectful approach, stressing that the direction of Peru's foreign relations should be determined by its own government.

The context of her remarks follows a significant political shift in Peru, where the Congress voted to remove the previous president José Jerí, indicating instability and political turbulence in the lead-up to general elections scheduled in less than two months. This abrupt change raises questions about the future of Peru's domestic policies and its external relations, particularly with neighboring countries like Mexico that have a vested interest in the political climate in Peru.

As the situation evolves, Sheinbaum's administration will monitor developments closely. The potential for renewed diplomatic relations hinges not only on Peru's political stability but also on the new government's willingness to engage with Mexico, especially considering past tensions. The emphasis on a respectful and cautious approach suggests that Mexico aims to navigate these complex dynamics with care, reflecting broader themes of international diplomacy in Latin America.
