Mexico–Venezuela relations are foreign relations between Mexico and Venezuela. Both nations are members of the Association of Caribbean States, Community of Latin American and Caribbean States, Latin American Integration Association, Organization of American States, Organization of Ibero-American States and the United Nations. ==History== Both Mexico and Venezuela share a common history in the fact that both nations were once part of the Spanish Empire. During the Spanish colonial period, Mexico was then known as Viceroyalty of New Spain and the capital being Mexico City while Venezuela was governed from the Viceroyalty of New Granada in Bogotá. In the early 1800s; both Mexico and Venezuela declared their independence from Spain with each nation obtaining independence in 1821 and 1830, respectively. Soon after obtaining independence, Emperor Agustín de Iturbide of Mexico contacted President Simón Bolívar by informing him of his ascension to the Mexican throne and telling him of his personal admiration for Bolivar after learning about his heroic valor and successful military campaigns.〔(Iturbide y Bolívar: documentos-memorias (in Spanish) )〕 In 1842, both nations accredited ambassadors to each other's countries. Mexico's ambassador to Venezuela was stationed in Bogotá, Colombia while Venezuela's ambassador to Mexico was stationed in Washington, DC, USA. In 1916, Mexico sent its first resident ambassador to be based in Caracas; however, diplomatic relations became tense in 1922 since Venezuela had not at that point established a resident ambassador to Mexico. In 1922, Mexico, under protest, closed its embassy in Caracas. In September 1923, Mexico broke diplomatic relations with Venezuela after the country had denied entry of Mexican nationals arriving to the country to partake in cultural activities being held in Venezuela. Diplomatic relations would be re-established ten years later in June 1933.〔(History of diplomatic relations between Mexico and Venezuela (in Spanish) )〕 During the 1940s, diplomatic relations normalized between the two nations and resident ambassadors were appointed to each nations capitals, respectively. In 1946, President Rómulo Betancourt was the first Venezuelan head of state to pay an official visit to Mexico. In January 1960, President Adolfo López Mateos was the first Mexican head of state to visit Venezuela while on a trip to trip to South America. Since the initial visits, there have been several high level visits between the two nations.〔 Since then, relations between the two nations have been friendly. In 1995, Mexico and Venezuela, along with Colombia; signed a free trade agreement; however, Venezuela pulled out of the agreement in 2006. Recent involvement in the oil industry by both countries, as well as Mexico joining the North American Free Trade Association in 1994, has led to various disputes between the two nations. During Mexican President Vicente Fox's term from 2000-2006; ties between the two countries became critically strained. In November 2005, the cooperation between Fox and the United States on the stalled Free Trade Area of the Americas proposal at the Fourth Summit of the Americas brought relations to a boiling point.〔 The late Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, stated in a speech on 10 November 2005 to supporters in Caracas that he was saddened that "the president of a people like the Mexicans lets himself become the puppy dog of the empire", as well as appearing on his weekly talk show ''Aló Presidente'' three days later, where he stated that the Mexican president was "bleeding from his wounds" and warned Fox to not "mess" with him, lest Fox "get stung".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4424374.stm )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4434654.stm )〕 Mexico's demand of an apology was unanswered by the Venezuelan government, and both countries pulled their respective ambassadors within two days of the talk show statement, starting the 2005 Mexico and Venezuela diplomatic crisis.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4453738.stm )〕 In August 2007, after two years of diplomatic absence in either country, normal relations were re-established with the appointment of former foreign minister Roy Chaderton as Venezuela's envoy in Mexico City and the transfer of Jesús Mario Chacón Carrillo, formerly Mexican ambassador to Colombia, to Caracas. After the election of President Nicolás Maduro in April 2013, the Mexican government has further emphasized the close ties between the two countries and the willingness to overcome differences in terms of political structures and relations with the US.〔( Mexico congratulates Maduro on win ). Radio, The voice of Russia (TASS), April 16, 2013.〕 In January 2015, President Maduro accused Felipe Calderon of plotting with opposition to kill him and to topple his government. Maduro accused Calderon of having ties with drug cartels. 〔http://www.telesurtv.net/english/news/Maduro-Says-Mexican-Ex-President-Has-Ties-with-Drug-Cartels--20150124-0010.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mexico–Venezuela relations」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
