History

Statue of Yasser Arafat in Mexico City

During the United Nations Partition Plan for Palestine vote on 29 November 1947; Mexico was one of ten countries that abstained from voting. In 1975, Mexico established diplomatic relations with the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). That same year, the PLO opened an 'Information office' in Mexico City which was elevated to a 'Special Delegation office' in 1995 after the Second Oslo Accord where an agreement was made between Israel and the PLO for the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to have an interim self-government in the Palestinian territories. In 2005, Mexico opened a representative office in Ramallah.

In 2009, Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki paid a visit to Mexico, becoming the first Palestinian foreign minister to do so. He visited the country again in 2011. In 2011, Mexico abstained from voting for allowing Palestine to be a member of UNESCO. In 2012, Mexico voted in favor of Palestine becoming an observer state within the United Nations, an upgrade from non-state observer. In June 2011, a statue of former President of the Palestinian National Authority, Yasser Arafat, was unveiled in Mexico City. In 2013, the Mexican Congress installed a section in its building to 'Mexico-Palestine Friendship.' During multiple conflicts between Israel and Palestine; Mexico has remained neutral and has asked that both parties cease fighting and continue with the peace process.
