Mexico's president on Tuesday picked veteran U.N. diplomat Alicia Barcena to be the country's new foreign minister after Marcelo Ebrard resigned to focus on his campaign to become the ruling party's candidate in next year's presidential election.
A trained biologist, Barcena served for nearly 14 years as executive secretary of the United Nations' Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean , and has been Mexico's ambassador to Chile since last September.
Lopez Obrador, whose term in office will conclude on Sept. 30, 2024, said he expected the 71-year-old Barcena, whose qualifications include a master's degree from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government, to begin her new role in 10 days. The new foreign minister's appointment must be ratified by the Mexican Senate, which should be a formality. In the interim, Deputy Foreign Minister Carmen Moreno will take charge of the ministry, Lopez Obrador said.
