Roberto Velasco, Mexico's next foreign minister, is not a household name outside diplomatic circles. But in Washington, policy forums, and border negotiations, he has spent years becoming one of the most visible architects of his country's relationship with the United States.
His new position was announced after the current foreign minister, Juan Ramón de la Fuente, revealed that he is leaving the post for health reasons, and it was confirmed by President Claudia Sheinbaum, who said she will submit him for the job for his Senate confirmation.
