Summary/Abstract: The left-wing government of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador wants Mexico to become the main promoter of cooperation and dialogue and a mediator in conflicts in Latin America. It has been fulfilling these goals by ostentatiously opposing interventionist foreign policy. The region’s differences over Venezuela, Central American migration to the U.S., and the Trump administration’s resulting confrontational policy towards Mexico are the main challenges to the implementation of this concept. The likely strengthening of EU cooperation with Mexico will favour the development of Polish-Mexican relations.
