Europe & Mexico: A Bond Forged by History, Culture & Refuge — #VonderLeyen 🇪🇺🇲🇽

The relationship between Europe and Mexico goes far beyond politics and trade. Speaking after the EU-Mexico Summit, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen reflected on the deep historical and cultural ties linking Europe and Mexico across generations.

According to von der Leyen, the EU-Mexico partnership is rooted not only in shared interests, but also in a powerful shared human story.

She recalled how thousands of Europeans found refuge in Mexico during the wars that devastated Europe in the last century, highlighting Mexico’s historic role as a place of safety and solidarity.

Von der Leyen also paid tribute to Mexico’s cultural legacy, mentioning iconic artists Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, whose work and creativity were shaped in part by their European experiences.

The remarks added a cultural and historical dimension to the modern EU-Mexico partnership — one built not only on trade, investment and diplomacy, but also on memory, migration, art and shared values.

The EU-Mexico Summit focused on strengthening cooperation across economic growth, clean energy, digital innovation, security, migration and global governance — while reaffirming the longstanding connection between Europe and Latin America.
