== History ==
== History ==
Before the arrival of European explorers to the Americas, El Salvador and Central-Mexico were once populated by [[Uto-Aztecan languages|Uto-Aztecan]] language speakers and both southern Mexico and El Salvador once belonged to the [[Mayan civilization]]. During Spanish colonization, both nations were part of the [[New Spain|Viceroyalty of New Spain]]. In 1821, Mexico obtained independence from [[Spain]] and most nations of Central America, including El Salvador, [[Central America under Mexican rule|were a part]] of the [[First Mexican Empire]] under Emperor [[Agustín de Iturbide]]. In 1823, the Mexican empire collapsed and El Salvador became part of the [[Federal Republic of Central America]] along with [[Guatemala]], [[Honduras]], [[Nicaragua]] and [[Costa Rica]]. In 1838, the union dissolved and El Salvador became its own independent states. That same year, El Salvador and Mexico established diplomatic relations.<ref name=History />
Honduras and Mexico have always had a close relationship and also share a history and several socio-cultural traits in common. Both nations have national heritages of [[Mesoamerica]]n cultures such as the [[Maya civilization|Maya]], both were conquered by the same conquerors such as [[Hernán Cortés|Hernán Cortes]], [[Cristóbal de Olid]], and [[Pedro de Alvarado]] and subsequently belonged to the Spanish Empire, both are mostly Catholic, and both nations were part of the [[New Spain|Viceroyalty of New Spain]] from 1535 to 1821. Shortly after achieving Independence from Spain in 1821, Honduras [[Central America under Mexican rule|was a part]] of the First Mexican Empire for a very short time until 1823 when it then joined the [[Federal Republic of Central America]]. Among the Mexicans who joined the Army Allied Protector of the Law, commanded by the Honduran [[Francisco Morazán]] during the so-called [[First Central American Civil War|Central American Civil War]]s, were General [[Agustín Guzmán]], a native of Quetzaltenango and many others. After its dissolution in 1838, Honduras became an independent nation.<ref>[http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/270769/Honduras/40966/Early-history Encyclopædia Britannica: History of Honduras]</ref>
[[File:Francisco Cruz Castro.JPG|thumb|President [[Francisco Cruz Castro]] was the son of Don José María Cruz, a Mexican immigrant in Honduras.]]
Honduras and Mexico established formal diplomatic relations in 1879 during the terms of Dr. [[Marco Aurelio Soto]] in Honduras and Don [[Porfirio Díaz]] in Mexico.In 1908, both nations established resident diplomatic missions in each other's capitals, respectively. That same year, a treaty of 'Friendship, Commerce and Navigation' was signed between both nations. In 1943, their diplomatic missions were elevated to embassies.<ref>[http://www.sre.gob.mx/images/stories/docnormateca/manexte/embajadas/MOEMHonduras.pdf Bilateral relations between Mexico and Honduras (in Spanish)]</ref>


During the 19th century, after the Honduran liberal reform and the modification of the immigration laws issued by the Honduran government, many Mexicans undertook the journey to the south, until they reached Honduras and settled in the cities of [[Tegucigalpa]], [[San Pedro Sula]], [[La Ceiba]], and among other places and thus settle down to found their companies or search for better opportunities.
In 1916, the Government of [[Venustiano Carranza]] donated a wireless station to El Salvador. In reciprocity, Salvadoran President [[Carlos Meléndez (politician)|Carlos Meléndez]] sent five thousand rifles and a small group of men as requested by the Mexican Government so that they would join the [[Constitutionalists in the Mexican Revolution|constitutionalist forces]] and fight against [[Victoriano Huerta]].<ref name=History /> In 1917, the Mexican Government donated a [[biplane]] to the Polytechnic School of El Salvador, and the Salvadoran Government gave Mexico land for the construction of the Mexican legation in the capital city of [[San Salvador]]. That same year, both nations open diplomatic missions in each other's capitals, respectively and in 1943, their respective diplomatic missions were elevated to embassies.<ref name=History />


Mexico has actively observed and become involved in Honduran affairs throughout the country's early turbulent history which involved coup d'état, military rule, US intervention and wars with neighboring countries. In 1969, Honduras went to war with [[El Salvador]] known as the [[Football War]] for which Mexico intervened diplomatically and tried to resolve between the two countries. In June 2009, Honduran President [[Manuel Zelaya]] was ousted in a coup d'état and taken to neighboring [[Costa Rica]]. Like several other [[Latin America]]n nations, Mexico temporarily severed diplomatic relations with Honduras. In July 2010, full diplomatic relations were once again re-established.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://mexico.cnn.com/nacional/2010/07/31/mexico-restablece-las-relaciones-diplomaticas-con-honduras |title=México restablece las relaciones diplomáticas con Honduras (in Spanish) |access-date=2014-11-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150330235655/http://mexico.cnn.com/nacional/2010/07/31/mexico-restablece-las-relaciones-diplomaticas-con-honduras |archive-date=2015-03-30 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
From 1979 to 1992, El Salvador was enveloped in a bloody [[Salvadoran Civil War|civil war]]. During the war, several thousand Salvadorean citizens fled the country to Mexico where many stayed or continued onward to the [[United States]].<ref>[http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/el-salvador-despite-end-civil-war-emigration-continues El Salvador: Despite End to Civil War, Emigration Continues]</ref> In 1992, the Salvadorean government and [[Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front|FMLN]] signed a peace agreement in [[Mexico City]] known as the [[Chapultepec Peace Accords]] thus in effect, ending the civil war.<ref name=History />


==Relations in the 21st Century==
Both nations have cooperated together in combating drug trafficking and gang violence, including [[MS-13]] (also known as the ''Mara Salvatrucha'') of which was the main cause of havoc in El Salvador and their operations created insecurity in the country. In 2018, several hundreds to a few thousands Salvadorans formed part of the [[Central American migrant caravans]] and traversed all of Mexico to the northern city of [[Tijuana]] to request asylum in the [[United States]].<ref>[https://www.vox.com/2018/10/24/18010340/caravan-trump-border-honduras-mexico The migrant caravan, explained]</ref> In January 2019, over 700 Salvadorans requested and obtained asylum in Mexico where many chose to remain rather than face the uncertainty of trying to request asylum in the U.S. and also not wishing to be denied and deported back to El Salvador.<ref>[https://diario.elmundo.sv/Nacionales/700-salvadorenos-migrantes-piden-asilo-en-mexico 700 salvadoreños migrantes piden asilo en México (in Spanish)]</ref>
For several decades, Mexico has been a transit country for thousands of Honduran migrants who enter the country on their way to the [[United States]]. Many Honduran migrants flee to the United States for better economic opportunities and/or to escape rampant crime and gang violence in their country, especially from the [[MS-13|MS-13/Mara Salvatrucha]].<ref>[https://www.americanprogress.org/issues/immigration/report/2014/07/24/94396/the-surge-of-unaccompanied-children-from-central-america-root-causes-and-policy-solutions/ The Surge of Unaccompanied Children from Central America]</ref> In 2014, Mexico deported over 33,000 Honduran migrants back to Honduras.<ref>[http://www.animalpolitico.com/2014/10/unos-33-mil-migrantes-hondurenos-han-sido-deportados-de-mexico-en-lo-que-va-del-ano/ Unos 33 mil migrantes hondureños han sido deportados de México en lo que va del año (in Spanish)]</ref>


Both the governments of Honduras and Mexico have increased mutual cooperation to provide legal and humanitarian assistance to Honduran migrants in Mexico and to combat human trafficking and violence against migrants in Mexico. Both nations have also agreed to combat the presence of Mexican cartels operating in Honduras.<ref>[http://www.insightcrime.org/news-analysis/mexican-cartels-expand-into-honduras Mexican Cartels Expand into Honduras]</ref>
In June 2019, Salvadoran President [[Nayib Bukele]] traveled to the Mexican state of [[Chiapas]] and met with Mexican President [[Andrés Manuel López Obrador]]. Leaders of both nations discussed initiatives to decrease the flow of Salvadoran migrants to Mexico en route to the United States and Mexico's commitment to Central Americas development.<ref>[https://www.bbc.com/mundo/noticias-america-latina-48699883 Encuentro de AMLO y Bukele: el viraje histórico que propone México para acercarse a Centroamérica (in Spanish)]</ref> In May 2022, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador paid an official visit to El Salvador.<ref>[https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/nacional/2022/05/06/amlo-doblara-inversion-en-el-salvador-para-sembrando-vida-y-jovenes-construyendo-el-futuro/ AMLO ‘doblará’ inversión en El Salvador para Sembrando Vida y Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro (in Spanish)]</ref>

Honduras

Mexico

Honduras–Mexico relations are the diplomatic relations between Honduras and Mexico. Both nations are members of the Association of Caribbean States, Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the United Nations.

History

Honduras and Mexico have always had a close relationship and also share a history and several socio-cultural traits in common. Both nations have national heritages of Mesoamerican cultures such as the Maya, both were conquered by the same conquerors such as Hernán Cortes, Cristóbal de Olid, and Pedro de Alvarado and subsequently belonged to the Spanish Empire, both are mostly Catholic, and both nations were part of the Viceroyalty of New Spain from 1535 to 1821. Shortly after achieving Independence from Spain in 1821, Honduras was a part of the First Mexican Empire for a very short time until 1823 when it then joined the Federal Republic of Central America. Among the Mexicans who joined the Army Allied Protector of the Law, commanded by the Honduran Francisco Morazán during the so-called Central American Civil Wars, were General Agustín Guzmán, a native of Quetzaltenango and many others. After its dissolution in 1838, Honduras became an independent nation.[1]

President Francisco Cruz Castro was the son of Don José María Cruz, a Mexican immigrant in Honduras.

Honduras and Mexico established formal diplomatic relations in 1879 during the terms of Dr. Marco Aurelio Soto in Honduras and Don Porfirio Díaz in Mexico.In 1908, both nations established resident diplomatic missions in each other's capitals, respectively. That same year, a treaty of 'Friendship, Commerce and Navigation' was signed between both nations. In 1943, their diplomatic missions were elevated to embassies.[2]

During the 19th century, after the Honduran liberal reform and the modification of the immigration laws issued by the Honduran government, many Mexicans undertook the journey to the south, until they reached Honduras and settled in the cities of Tegucigalpa, San Pedro Sula, La Ceiba, and among other places and thus settle down to found their companies or search for better opportunities.

Mexico has actively observed and become involved in Honduran affairs throughout the country's early turbulent history which involved coup d'état, military rule, US intervention and wars with neighboring countries. In 1969, Honduras went to war with El Salvador known as the Football War for which Mexico intervened diplomatically and tried to resolve between the two countries. In June 2009, Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ousted in a coup d'état and taken to neighboring Costa Rica. Like several other Latin American nations, Mexico temporarily severed diplomatic relations with Honduras. In July 2010, full diplomatic relations were once again re-established.[3]

Relations in the 21st Century

For several decades, Mexico has been a transit country for thousands of Honduran migrants who enter the country on their way to the United States. Many Honduran migrants flee to the United States for better economic opportunities and/or to escape rampant crime and gang violence in their country, especially from the MS-13/Mara Salvatrucha.[4] In 2014, Mexico deported over 33,000 Honduran migrants back to Honduras.[5]

Both the governments of Honduras and Mexico have increased mutual cooperation to provide legal and humanitarian assistance to Honduran migrants in Mexico and to combat human trafficking and violence against migrants in Mexico. Both nations have also agreed to combat the presence of Mexican cartels operating in Honduras.[6]

In 2018, several hundreds to a few thousands Hondurans formed part of the Central American migrant caravans and traversed all of Mexico to the northern city of Tijuana to request asylum in the United States.[7] In 2018, over 640 Hondurans requested and obtained asylum in Mexico where many are choosing to remain rather than face the uncertainty of trying to request asylum in the US and also not wishing to be denied and deported back to Honduras.[8][9]

In January 2022, Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard paid a visit to Honduras to attend the inauguration of President Xiomara Castro.[10] In May 2022, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador paid an official visit to Honduras.[11]

In October 2023, Honduran President Xiomara Castro paid a visit to Palenque, Chiapas to attend a Summit on Migration, hosted by Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador.[12]

Transportation

There are direct flights between Mexico City and San Pedro Sula with Aeroméxico Connect.

Trade relations

In June 2000, Mexico and Honduras (along with Guatemala and El Salvador) signed a free trade agreement which took effect in 2001. Since then, both Costa Rica and Nicaragua have joined the joint free trade agreement.[28] In 2023, total trade between Honduras and Mexico amounted to US$2.2 billion.[29] Hondura's main exports to Mexico include: electrical wires and cables, palm oil, sugar cane, clothing, and motor vehicles parts and accessories. Mexico's main exports to Honduras include: copper wires, electrical wires, malt extracts, oils of petroleum, motor vehicles and chemical based products.[29] Several Mexican multinational companies such as América Móvil, Cemex, Grupo Bimbo and Gruma (among others) operate in Honduras.
