Mexico has always enjoyed very warm and politically mutual relations with Russia. These relationships have been strong even when Russia was officially the USSR. In fact, during the 1930's a campaign had begun to improve relations between the United States and Mexico as Russian influence in the form of radicalism, weapons and training and political influence had grown at an alarming rate.
Mexico gave a home to Trotsky, then cashed in on selling out his location to the Stalinists. Our southern "neighbor" has always been a manipulative hotbed for extremist political ideologies. Mexico is very similar in hosting extremism and having a population that willingly accepts extremism to countries like Syria and Saudi Arabia. Although not focused primarily on religious identity, Mexico has always looked towards the enemies of the United States for assistance, then turned these relationships into a manipulative tool to be used politically against the US.
We can see the influence of Russia philosophy in the illegal aliens. They believe in authoritarian collectivism, heavily expanded entitlements, no borders, no property rights, special treatment under the law and a separate "Aztlan" state. Many of the protests in the US have been lead by US based Communist workers party members.
Russia has spent billions in maintaining influence in Mexico over the years and sees American weakness as nothing more than pure opportunity. Amnesty serves Russian political influence and Mexcian cultural expansion by eroding away American sovereignty and geography. The ideas and espoused philosophies of open borders and amnesty are left over ideas from Communist insurgencies into Central and South America.
Russia is ramping up its influence in Mexico, as externally funded chaos ensues in the form of a narco drug war. The reality is that Russia is hoping for an expansion of power in the region. Global corporatists have seemed to obtain some rights to Mexico in exchange for allowing Russia territorial gains in Georgia.
Due to its good relations with Russia, Mexico has purchased various military equipment. The Mexican Navy has received BTR-60's Ural-4320, Mi-17/8's, and anti-aircraft missiles SA-18 Grouse. Currently all of the equipment is still in service.

Their stated aims:
The aims of Russia and Mexico to a significant extent coincide on the international scene, primarily where it concerns the formation of a just and democratic world order based on the principles of multilaterality and in questions of disarmament, peacekeeping and conflict settlement.
On the agenda In Russian-Mexican Relations are the topical questions of world politics, the focus of attention is on the themes of the enhancement of the role of the UN in the maintenance of global peace, international security and stability, and ways to reform the Organization and its Security Council.
Our Foreign Ministries regularly exchange views on major world trends, including through the prism of new global challenges and threats. In these matters our countries are actively forging cooperation in international organizations and maintaining engagement between the appropriate competent agencies.
We devote much attention to ways of building up and diversifying Russian-Mexican trade-and-economic ties and of intensifying the collaborative effort in science and new technologies.
Both sides presume that at this stage the main efforts on the part of state and commercial structures alike should be directed towards solving the problems hindering bilateral cooperation, including that in the energy, transport, investment, tourist and other fields.
Intensive is the cooperation in the fields of culture, science and education, considering that a thick scientific and cultural layer of Latin America lies in Mexico.
The two countries have accumulated a rich experience in the exchange of cultural values, in particular in the organization of art and museum exhibitions and performances of art, including folk, groups.
Many Russian scientists are working in Mexico on a contract basis, and joint research projects are being carried out; Mexican specialists are being trained in Russian universities and colleges.
Russia has a military attache in Mexico:
Anatoly Serdyukov was born on January 8, 1962 in Krasnodar region. Graduated from Leningrad Institute for the Soviet trade (1984). Later, he graduated from Saint-Petersburg State University, Law Faculty.
From 1984 to 1985 he served in the Armed Forces.
From 2000 to 2001 he occupied position of deputy head of the inter-district Inspection of the Taxes Ministry (St.Petersburg large-scale tax-payers).
In May 2001 he was appointed deputy head of St.Petersburg Tax authority, later head of St.Petersburg Tax authority of the Ministry of Taxes.
In March 2004 became deputy head of Russian Federation Tax Ministry.
According to the order of the Head of Government as of 27 July 2004 Anatoly Serdyukov was delegated the duties of head of Federal Tax Service.
Mr. Serdyukov was delegated the power and responsibilities of Minister of Defence according to the President’s Decree on February 15, 2007.
Later, in connection with formation of new structure of the Government of the Russian Federation, the President signed a decree on May 12th 2008 appointing Anatoly Serdyukov to the position of Defence Minister of the Russian Federation.
Vincente Fox and Vladamir Putin enjoyed warm relations.

PRESIDENT PUTIN:
First of all, I want to once again sincerely thank Mr. President for the invitation and the hospitality, which we felt literally from the very first minutes of our stay on Mexican soil. Mexico and Russia are indeed tied by bonds of traditional friendship. The present talks - here I agree with the assessment Mr. President gave to these talks - have confirmed our common readiness to develop relations between Mexico and the Russian Federation.
We have just signed a joint Russian-Mexican statement reflecting the identity or similarity of our positions on the main issues of our time. Other bilateral documents are also signed. You were the witnesses of their signing. Among them I would single out the Agreement on the Avoidance of Double Taxation on Incomes, as well as the Agreement on Cooperation in the Banking Sphere, which, in my view, must create a good legal basis for the development of economic ties.
We attach great significance to interaction in other spheres as well: both in the sphere of the fight against crime and in the cultural sphere. Today a great deal of attention was paid to all these areas of our interaction.
We count on these documents creating a good legal basis for the development of our cooperation. In the course of the talks our common desire to promote the process of the formation of an effective system of international relations was also reaffirmed. On this topic we were talking a lot, and I shall once again emphasize - all that concerns the building of an international security system, all that concerns the priorities in the creation of a modern architecture of international relations - all this, in essence, has the backing of our Mexican colleagues, just as of their Russian friends. We have common positions here. And we intend to uphold them on the international scene, in the Security Council of the United Nations.
We consider that the role and significance of the UN as a universal instrument for the maintenance of international peace and security must be strengthened. We were also talking about how to do that, and discussing possible improvements in the mechanisms. Of course, we devoted considerable attention to the situation in Iraq, and we were talking about the prospects of the adoption of a UN Security Council resolution on Iraq, which, as you know, is now being actively discussed in the Council.
Mr. President named the areas of our cooperation in the economic field, and emphasized some concrete projects. I want to reaffirm that we shall do everything to have these projects supported by the official authorities of the Russian Federation, by the Government of Russia.
I would also like to note that our contacts in the economic field are not limited to the enumerated concrete projects. We will be searching for other areas of application of our efforts. I am certain that, bearing in mind the disposition of the two sides to develop our interaction, we will find them.
I want to once again thank Mr. President not only for the invitation, but also for the character of our present meeting. In conclusion I wish to once again repeat my invitation to the President of the United Mexican States, Mr. Fox, to pay an official visit to the Russian Federation at a time convenient for him.
Thank you.
QUESTION: For about 130 years now, Russia and Mexico have been bound by bilateral ties. The President of Russia has visited us today. Where does your special interest in Mexico lie? In addition, I would like to learn a little more about the agreements in the area of the production of transport means of large load capacity. Did you discuss a possible drop in world oil prices, and could you tell us a little more about possible natural gas exports to Mexico? When can concrete steps be expected in this direction?
PRESIDENT PUTIN: Yours is such a complex question. You want me to deliver a report on the theme of the development of Russian-Mexican economic ties? I shall try to answer very concisely.
We have a traditional interest in Mexico, and it is based on the interest of Russia in Mexican culture. We were today talking in considerable detail with the colleagues in the course of the talks about this. The interest in Mexico has been aroused, of course, not only and not so much by the popularity of Mexican television serials in Russia, as by the growth of the economic potential of Mexico. By the strengthening of its sovereignty in the international arena and of the international prestige of your country. All of this makes Mexico an attractive partner. In addition, and this is the main thing, Mexico is steadily developing economically.
As of now, Russia has a not big, but already noticeable economic exchange with Latin America as a whole - it is about just slightly more than six billion dollars. The exchange with Mexico is insignificant. I would consider there's only several hundred million dollars there. But the possibilities are very great. The concrete projects of which the President spoke, and you have just mentioned - the construction of a plant for freight motor vehicles or repairs of our aircraft equipment, in particular, helicopters - these are concrete and interesting, but small projects and we shall do our best to support them. This is a subject for specific commercial negotiations. But I shall repeat once more that Russia, for its part, will support these projects.
But other projects can be considerably larger-scale. Our companies are already operating in the Mexican energy market in the sphere of electricity production, they took an active part in the implementation of two power projects - the construction of two power plants. Now one of our companies has won the tender together with its other partners within an international consortium for the construction of one more power plant in Mexico. For the first time, an agreement for the supply of nuclear fuel to Mexico was concluded last year. I consider that this is a good beginning for full-scale cooperation in the field of peaceful utilization of the atom, in the sphere of nuclear power.
Finally, regarding raw energy materials - oil and gas. As we were told today by our partners in the course of the talks, Mexico is utilizing its oil production capacities by only 18 percent. This is a very promising country in cooperation in this sphere for Russia. It seems to me that Mexican and Russian specialists are interested in developing this interaction, let alone the already possible and planned supplies of liquefied gas from the Russian Federation's Far East, where in 2007 it is planned to commission large plants for the liquefaction of natural gas. Talks are already being conducted for liquefied gas supplies to the coast of the United States and Mexico.
But even more interesting and promising could be the joint work of Russian and Mexican specialists on the full range of geological exploration, extraction and transportation of energy resources. This applies to both oil and gas. That the Russian gas industry workers are the world's leaders in their field, I think, nobody has any doubts. And here we could really provide assistance across the entire technological chain. This concerns, I shall repeat it once more, geological exploration and extraction and supplies of necessary equipment. The ultimate objective of this cooperation: the creation in Mexico of its own gas industry. Now that's truly extensive cooperation that is worthy of our countries.
Finally, in the field of military technological cooperation we have some prospects, with the small first steps having been taken. We hope they will be further developed. We presume that any country, including Mexico, is interested in diversifying its ties in this fairly sensitive area of cooperation with other countries. This is an incomplete list of areas in which we could and, I hope, will develop relations.
QUESTION: Vladimir Vladimirovich, this is your second visit to Latin America. Before this you were in Cuba several years ago. What place does Latin America hold in world relations now, in your opinion?
Here are comments regarding the Soviet/Russia – Mexico relations:
PRESIDENT PUTIN: The Soviet Union, in its time, had traditionally very friendly relations with the whole continent. By virtue of the well-known events in the early 1990s, when we were forced to be concerned with our own affairs for the most part, we simply had no time for Latin America. Today, I am deeply convinced of this, considering the potential of the Latin American countries, considering the growth of their economic potential and the growth of their weight in the international arena, Russia has no right not to give this thrust in its policy due attention. We will be persistently active in this direction, will be working with all countries of the continent. I am very grateful to the President of Mexico for his invitation. Bearing in mind the long-standing and traditional ties that have become established between Russia and Mexico, I would like to hope for this to be a good beginning of the resumption of the practical activity of Russia in Latin America. And from what I have just said above - Mexico could become a good site for the development of our relations with the other countries of the continent.
In the above we see the established history of Russian and Latin American relations. The Russians and Mexicans are responsible for the exporting of Marxist revolution to the United States.
QUESTION: Debates are in full swing in Mexico on legislation reforms in the area of energy. Can the absence of the results of the reforms become a hindrance to possible Russian investments in this field?
PRESIDENT PUTIN: We have already discussed this theme during our talks today. I am not thoroughly familiar, of course, with Mexican legislation in this area, but from what I heard it can be concluded that in Russia legislation in this field is more liberal. In our country actually the whole energy sector - this holds for oil - it is all practically private. As far as gas is concerned, there are restrictions on transportation and extraction only. There are no restrictions for private capital, but I understand the Mexican government. This is one of the foundations on which the Mexican economy rests, and one has to be very careful in acting here. Any investment, especially a large one, is always worked through by investors from the viewpoint of existing legislation.
I do not think that the debates you have just mentioned, the possible changes in Mexican legislation which are now being discussed could somehow influence our cooperation. Moreover, the more liberal it will be, the better for potential investors, with the appropriate guarantees for these investments on the part of the Mexican government. In this sense Mexico, in our opinion, is a reliable partner. For now I can tell you exactly that our major energy companies, including Gazprom, which has now established primary contacts with its partners in Mexico, show interest in the development of this cooperation.
I would also like to add that this is even so understandable that our cooperation with Mexico in the energy field, in my view, is extremely important not only for the two countries but also for the world energy market, bearing in mind that both Mexico and Russia are major producers and exporters of energy raw materials. We do not enter into any cartel agreements and are not members of OPEC; we are constantly in contact with each other. The Mexican President and I quite regularly exchange information on what is happening in world energy markets, we are regularly talking on this question by telephone. Therefore, the closer our specialists will work with each other, the better the effect this will have on the state of our economies, and it will create necessary stability in the international energy markets. I do not doubt that at all. In view of the foregoing, the plans of Russia and Mexico in the energy field should be exclusively positively regarded not only in our countries, but also in the international energy community.
