MEXICO: French ties renewed after Hollande visit
France and Mexico moved to re-launch ties on 10 April when President Enrique Peña Nieto received his French peer François Hollande for a state visit. Relations became estranged between their respective predecessors, Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) and Nicolás Sarkozy (2007-2012), as a result of the case of Florence Cassez, a Frenchwoman controversially imprisoned in 2005 for kidnapping who was released in January last year by Mexico’s supreme court. Peña Nieto and Hollande signed 42 bilateral cooperation accords, the most eye-catching in the public security sphere.
