Mexican Foreign Minister Steps Down Amid Health Issues

Mexican Foreign Minister Juan Ramon de la Fuente has announced his resignation from office due to health concerns, according to recent reports from local media.

Roberto Velasco, who is currently the head of the North America department within the foreign ministry, is expected to fill the position left vacant by de la Fuente, the reports suggest.

De la Fuente previously went on medical leave for surgery in November, and while reports indicate his departure, Reuters has yet to confirm if the leave will be permanent or if he plans to return.
