| 释义 |
Mexico–South Africa relations refers to the diplomatic relations between Mexico and South Africa. Both nations are members of the G-20 major economies and the United Nations. HistoryBefore 1993, Mexico had refused to recognize the South African government because of the Mexican government's opposition to apartheid. In 1991, Nelson Mandela, head of the African National Congress, visited Mexico thus paving the way for formal diplomatic relations to be established on 26 October 1993. In 1994, both nations established a diplomatic mission in each other's capitals respectively.[1] In his 1997 book The Big Ten: The Big Emerging Markets and How They Will Change Our Lives (1997), Jeffrey Garten, Dean Emeritus at the Yale School of Management, identified both Mexico and South Africa as Big 10 economies.[2] In early 2000s, growers in the Karoo region of South Africa started to produce Tequila (dubbed Agava for legal reasons) with the agave that is thought to have been imported by Spanish-Portuguese colons more than a century ago, the first country aside from Mexico to produce the famous Mexican alcohol.[3] In 2013, both nations celebrated 20 years of diplomatic relations.
