according to tass, zelensky had previously expressed in an interview with mexico's el supremacy newspaper that he hoped the current mexican president lopez would visit ukraine, and he also extended an invitation to president-elect sheinbaum to visit ukraine.
"i don't think so. i repeat, we act in accordance with the principles of foreign policy and the constitution," sheinbaum said when asked if he planned to visit ukraine. "our foreign policy is determined by the constitution. it is very clear, solemn and peaceful. the principle of seeking peaceful solutions to conflicts will be the basis of our foreign policy. this is our policy and it will always be so."
tass reported that sheinbaum also said that her "main task is to manage mexico." "i will attend some international events that we think are important, but we will not travel often - our responsibility is here (mexico)." sheinbaum said.
according to xinhua news agency, sheinbaum announced her victory in the presidential election on june 3 and will become the first female president in mexican history. russian media reported on august 7, citing the mexican embassy in russia, that mexico has invited russian president vladimir putin to attend the inauguration ceremony of mexican president-elect sheinbaum on october 1, local time.
in response to mexico's invitation, ukraine had previously requested that the mexican government should arrest putin if he was invited to attend the inauguration ceremony of mexican president-elect kirschenbaum, but the request was rejected by mexico's current president lopez on august 8 this year.
