<p>The Government continues to engage regularly with the Mexican authorities at Ministerial,
official and state levels to discuss human rights, including Freedom of Religion or
Belief (FoRB), and to support a broad human rights agenda in the country. During the
Foreign Secretary's first visit to Mexico in August 2019, he raised human rights with
his counterpart Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, who expressed his support for working
with us bilaterally and multilaterally to protect human rights. Baroness Williams
also raised FoRB with Mexican Interior Minister in September 2019. I have also spoken
to Deputy Foreign Minister Ventura. At the UN Universal Periodic Review session in
November 2018 the United Kingdom made recommendations regarding accountability for
human rights violations and addressing impunity for violence against human rights
defenders.</p>
