MEXICO CITY – Mexico’s top diplomat Juan Ramon de la Fuente is stepping away from his role as Foreign Minister due to medical concerns, according to Wednesday reports from Mexican news outlets.
Roberto Velasco, who currently leads the North America division within the foreign ministry, is expected to assume the position, according to the reports.
De la Fuente took medical leave last November to undergo surgery. Reuters could not immediately verify the Mexican media reports or confirm whether his departure from the ministry will be permanent.
