Mexico's Senate has confirmed Roberto Velasco as the nation's new Foreign Minister, an appointment arriving at a critical juncture for regional trade agreements.

Velasco, formerly the undersecretary for North America, was chosen by President Claudia Sheinbaum last week after Juan Ramon de la Fuente resigned for health reasons.

His previous experience managing diplomatic relations with the United States and Canada positions Velasco as a key player in the ongoing review of the USMCA trade pact.
