A sigh of relief from the other side of the Pacific
In the midst of the images of chaos that came from the north of Japan, where the earth shook with force 7.7, the Foreign Ministry has just given news that many expected: until this moment, no Mexican appears as affected. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (SRE) confirmed it after exhaustive monitoring.
Roberto Velasco, head of the department, not only gave the medical report, but also extended his hand. > He expressed his condolences to the Japanese people for the damage caused by the earthquake. The diplomatic gesture is key at this time.
The embassy, on maximum alert mode
The diplomatic representation in Tokyo has already activated all its protocols. They have their phones glued to their ears, in constant contact with the local Japanese authorities. Its mission is clear: to track any possible impact among our community.
The Mexican embassy in Japanese territory remains alert to any eventuality that may require consular assistance, the SRE reiterated in its official statement. It’s not just a newsletter; It is a lifeline for those who are far from home.
And for those Mexicans who may feel vulnerable there, the Foreign Ministry recalled the emergency number enabled. It’s that consular lifeline we all hope we never have to use.
The message of solidarity also came from the National Palace. President Claudia Sheinbaum joined the chorus during her morning conference. > He expressed his solidarity with Japan and assured that his government remains attentive to the evolution of the situation.
For now, the balance is positive for our compatriots. But as you know well in the Foreign Ministry, after an earthquake of this magnitude, surveillance cannot let its guard down for even a second. Monitoring continues.
