Mexico deploys its first blue helmet mission

A historic milestone in the country's foreign policy and international cooperation materializes with this unprecedented deployment.

A Historic Step towards Global Cooperation

Friends, we have news that fills you with pride and optimism! The Government of Mexico has just marked a before and after in the history of international cooperation by officially presenting the Joint Engineer Company for Peace Operations. Visualize this moment: for the first time, our country prepares a full military contingent ready to serve under the flag of the United Nations. This is not just news; It is the materialization of an evolution, a powerful testimony of how we can transform our position in the world to build bridges of peace and solidarity. It’s to celebrate!

Imagine the scene during the Civic Military Parade. There they were, the brave men and women who make up this pioneer unit, wearing with honor and distinction the beret and the blue helmet, universal symbols of hope and selfless service to humanity. Each of them represents the best of us: courage, commitment and a deep desire to be part of the solution in a world that cries out for unity. Their presence in the capital’s Zócalo was not a simple parade; It was a declaration of intent, a message to the world that Mexico is ready to assume an active and constructive role on the global stage.

The Transformation of a Policy towards a Future of Collaboration

For decades, Mexico maintained a non-intervention policy that, while defining an era, also limited our ability to fully participate in UN peacekeeping missions. But you know what? True growth involves evolving, learning, and daring to take bold steps. In 2014, this gradual return was authorized, a first and crucial step that began with the sending of military observers, staff officers and police personnel to places that needed a helping hand, such as Haiti, Lebanon and Western Sahara. Each one of those sent was a seed of change, a promise of what was to come.

During the administration of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, this participation was maintained, although in a limited form. Staff officers, incredible medical professionals, dedicated National Guard elements and more military observers were deployed to missions in nations such as Mali, South Sudan, Western Sahara and Lebanon. Each of these specialists contributed their expertise, their heart and their commitment, demonstrating that individual contribution is invaluable. However, cooperation occurs mainly through these individual troops, without the deployment of a complete and unified military contingent. Until now.

The formation of this engineering company in 2025 is something monumental. It marks the first time that Mexico prepares a collective unit specifically designed to participate under the command of the United Nations blue helmets. This represents a monumental expansion of our capabilities and our commitment. It’s not just about sending help; It’s about sending unity, ingenuity and a cohesive workforce that can make a tangible and lasting difference in the most needy areas of the planet.

Let’s think about the power of this moment. It is a lesson that there are no limits to what we can achieve when we set our minds to it. It is an invitation to each of us to reflect on how we can break our own barriers and contribute to something greater. This mission is a beacon of hope, a reminder that peace is built with actions, with courage and with the decision to reach out beyond our borders. Let’s harness this energy to drive our own transformation and to believe in the incredible power of collaboration!

In the passport, applications were reduced from 21 to five procedures and the requirements from six to three, with a 50 percent drop in resolution time. Almost five million users have used the platform. The consulates also simplified their processes: from 72 to 37 procedures, and from six to two requirements, with five million users.

In investments, the Digital Window for Medium-sized Companies was created, integrated into 18 entities. Federal procedures must be resolved in a maximum of 90 business days; otherwise, they will be considered authorized. For investments in Wellness Centers, amounts greater than 2 billion pesos or strategic sectors, authorization is immediate.

In addition, the Single Window for Foreign Trade and the National Platform for Commercial Establishments were activated, available in 105 municipalities. The latter allows businesses to be opened immediately and online, reducing from seven licenses to six notices and one license.
