At a reception celebrating the Chinese New Year, which begins on Feb. 17, Ambassador Chen Daojiang observed that his country’s 2026-2030 five-year plan is “a golden opportunity” to strengthen cooperation and seek shared prosperity in the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.

Authorities in Guadalupe — a municipality in the Monterrey metro area that includes the stadium — have formed a new K9-X unit made up of four quadruped robots that will patrol in and around the venue, renamed Monterrey Stadium for the World Cup.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Identidad Nuevo León (@identidadnl) The site is scheduled for three group-stage matches and one round-of-32 game from June 14-29, plus it will co-host a six-team play-in tournament March 23-31 to determine the final two World Cup berths. Akron Stadium in greater Guadalajara will be the other host. The robots, operated remotely much like drones or video game characters, are designed as first-responders only. Officials say t...

The federal government is urging Mexicans who haven’t been inoculated against measles to get vaccinated as the country deals with a concerning outbreak of the highly contagious airborne disease. Since the start of 2025, Mexico has recorded 9,187 confirmed cases of measles, according to government data published on Wednesday . The federal and state governments have set up measles vaccination sites, such as this one in Oaxaca, for easy access for those who have not been previously vaccinated against measles. (Carolina Jiménez Mariscal/Cuartoscuro.com) Almost 30% of those confirmed cases — 2,755 — were recorded in 2026, and many of them were detected in infants and young children. Thousands more probable cases of measles have been counted in 2025 and 2026.

The state of Jalisco is currently facing the most serious outbreak with 1,6...

Although not listed as a producer of rare earth elements, Mexico produces eight of the 60 critical minerals of interest to the U.S. that are included in the joint action plan aimed at mitigating vulnerabilities in North American critical mineral supply chains. Mexico is among the world’s leading producers of antimony, barite, copper, fluorite, graphite, lead, silver and zinc, all critical minerals that the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) prioritizes as vital to the U.S. economy and its national security. The USGS values these products as they fall within categories it considers vulnerable due to their role in essential technologies (e.g., batteries, energy, electronics and defense). The U.S.-Mexico action plan is linked to the U.S.-sponsored Critical Minerals Ministerial plan comprising more than 55 nations including Mexico. Mexico is also a participant in multilateral negotiations on critical minerals with Canada, Japan and the 27 members of the European Union. Mexico is not l...

All stories in El Jalapeño are satire and not real news. OTTAWA — In a landmark infrastructure deal Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican officials have broken ground on the Trans-Continental Bypass — a suspended highway designed to let North America’s top and bottom neighbors hang out without the loud middle child getting involved.​ The project, colloquially dubbed “The Great Polite Arc,” will stretch from Ottawa directly to Monterrey, cutting out the need to set foot in the United States entirely.  (Antony-22/WIkimedia Commons) After this week’s uproar over whether the existing Gordie Howe bridge between Mexico and the U.S. will be allowed to open, the Arc turns from satire into a reasonable backup plan, offering Canadians and Mexicans a quiet detour around the chaos in the United States. “It is a triumph of engineering,” said Dr. Guillermo Fuentes, Mexico’s newly appointed Secretary of Vertical Tourism. “We have designed special soundproofing barriers to block out the no...
