Mexico's foreign service started in 1822, the year after the signing of the Treaty of Cordoba which marked the beginning of Mexico's independence. In 1831, legislation was passed that underpinned the establishment of diplomatic representations with other states in Europe and the Americas. As of 2023, Mexico has diplomatic relations with 193 countries.[1]
Today, Mexico has a significant worldwide presence, with over 150 representations, including 53 consulates in the United States alone (no other country has as many consulates in any single host country).
