*** Bilateral Relations - Historical background ***
The first unofficial diplomatic relations between France and Mexico back 26 November 1826. It took, indeed, 1830 that France recognizes independence of Mexico, proclaimed nine years ago. Trade issues marked the calendar bilateral started (in 1827, an agreement signed in Paris on both parties mutually recognized the status of "most favored nation"), but also complaints from French citizens, who suffer damage during Mexican civil wars.
These complaints, as well as the economic interests of France (the Mexican Congress and refused to ratify the trade agreement), are the cause of the conflict pitted the two nations: first, in 1838, during the "War of the cake," and in 1862, during the French intervention in Mexico.
After the fall, then at death, 19 June 1867, Maximilian of Hapsburg, the Franco-Mexican relations have experienced a break of thirteen years. Only 27 November 1880 that the two countries resume their diplomatic relations. Thus in 1886 a Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation was signed in Mexico, which treated each of the signatory states undertook to implement each clause of the most favored nation. Between 1880 and 1910, that is to say during the period that corresponds to the regime of Porfirio Díaz in Mexico and the Third Republic in France, the trade increased, especially in trade, industry and culture.
From 1910, the first year of the Mexican revolution, civil strife torn Mexico, marking its lasting relationships with the world. For its part, France enters World War I in 1914. At the end of the war, Charge d'Affairs provides diplomatic representation in each country. At that time, the negotiation of the Convention complaints relating to damage caused to citizens by the French Revolution is at the center of bilateral relations.
From 4 to 9 October 1924, General Plutarco Elías Calles was traveling in France, as president-elect. Then in 1942, President Avila Camacho declared war on Germany, which led to the severance of diplomatic relations with the Vichy government. The Mexican government then agreed to meet informally with the Free France of de Gaulle, who sent a delegation to Mexico City. After the second world war, diplomatic relations be normalized, so that from 1945, the embassies representing each country.
The Mexican Embassy in France was able to contribute to the negotiation of the new Franco-Mexican Trade Agreement, signed in Mexico City November 29, 1951, by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Manuel Tello and Ambassador of France Mr. Gabriel Bonneau. Other agreements were concluded during this period, including a Convention for the Protection of Copyrights (1950) and Convention on the scheduled air transport (1952). In the cultural field, the year 1952 was marked by a major exhibition of Mexican art Paris.
Between 1954 and 1982, the Mexican diplomatic activity in Paris have boomed. Thus, Pemex, but also the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACYT) opened an office in Paris, a city where a tourist office and a cultural center in Mexico have also emerged.
Politically, the state visits of Presidents Adolfo Lopez Mateos and Charles de Gaulle in 1963 and 1964 respectively, have paved the way for greater cooperation. In 1965, an Agreement on cooperation in science and technology has been adopted. In 1973, President Luis Echeverria won the support France, during a visit to the country to promote the Charter of Rights and Duties of States, proposed by Mexico at the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD III April 1972).
Following a visit to Mexico of President Valery Giscard d'Estaing, President José López Portillo came to her turn in France in 1980. The need to balance the trade deficit for Mexico was then retained as a priority. In 1981 a treaty of economic cooperation was adopted and an agreement between Pemex and the French oil company (PSC), covering the supply of this energy resource.
The Franco-Mexican declaration of August 28, 1981 on El Salvador showed that the two countries shared the same view regarding the solution to the conflict raging in Central America then. In 1981, President François Mitterrand made a state visit to Mexico, as part of its participation in the Summit of Heads of States and Governments of North-South, held in Cancun in October of that year .
From 20 to 23 June 1985, President Miguel de la Madrid moved an official visit to France. On this occasion, 14 cooperation agreements have been adopted and investment projects were launched, for a total of 217.6 million.
Invited in 1989 to commemorate the bicentennial of the French Revolution, President Carlos Salinas de Gortari visited France. He returned in 1992 during an official visit during which he met President François Mitterrand and made a speech at the headquarters of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), shortly before Mexico became a member of this organization. The Framework Agreement of Cooperation, adopted February 18, 1992, has, moreover, French and Mexican governments to strengthen their cooperation and friendship.
is in this dynamic part of the state visit of President Ernesto Zedillo in France in October 1997, on the one hand, and that of President Jacques Chirac in Mexico in November 1998, on the other hand, that has reignited the political dialogue between the two countries. New perspectives are thus drawn in terms of trade and investment, and in all areas of bilateral cooperation.
In this context, we emphasize the many meetings between the leaders of the two countries at various international forums and bilateral visits. President Fox has made five visits to France since his election in July 2000: In October 2000, at first, as president-elect, and in October 2001, during a working visit to Toulouse, then in Strasbourg Council of Europe and the European Parliament in May 2002 and in November 2002 for an official visit, and finally, in June 2003 to attend the Meeting the G8 Enlarged Dialogue in Evian.
