- Héctor Vasconcelos reconoció que se abren las oportunidades para intercambios en diversas áreas con ambas naciones
Las comisiones de Relaciones Exteriores y Relaciones Exteriores Asia-Pacifico-África, que presiden el senador Héctor Vasconcelos y la senadora Cora Cecilia Pinedo Alonso, respectivamente, aprobaron el dictamen por el que se ratifica a José Guillermo Ordorica Robles como embajador de México en Qatar.
Héctor Vasconcelos dijo que la Copa Mundial de Fútbol que se llevará a cabo en Qatar, permitirá la interacción de muchos países en un ambiente de celebración y con la asistencia de alrededor de 80 mil mexicanos.
Reconoció que los intercambios bilaterales son modestos; sin embargo, hay muchos campos en los que se pueden fortalecer las relaciones comerciales. El senador confió en que este acontecimiento deportivo tenga un efecto positivo a largo plazo, para el conocimiento mutuo entre los dos pueblos.
La senadora Pinedo Alonso agregó que la política exterior mexicana se encuentra en un momento clave y que se han dado pasos sólidos en el entendimiento político con naciones estratégicas, como Qatar.
La legisladora del PT consideró que es necesario impulsar una cooperación más activa e innovadora, a fin de aprovechar de mejor forma las oportunidades que ambos países ofrecen, como la coyuntura de la Copa Mundial.
En tanto, José Guillermo Ordorica Robles comentó que, como parte de su plan de trabajo, impulsará la suscripción de normas que están en proceso de negociación, como el memorándum sobre entendimiento en materia turística, de aviación civil, agricultura y seguridad alimentaria.
Además, dijo que buscaría establecer acuerdos sobre inversión en México en infraestructura, energía y otros rubos; para ello, se reunirá con directivos del Banco de Doha, la autoridad de inversiones de Qatar y la cámara de industria y comercio.
Lo anterior, como parte del seguimiento al trabajo del secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, Marcelo Ebrard, en esa nación de Asia, tras su visita el pasado mes de marzo.
Ordorica Robles también señaló que buscará fomentar la cooperación en materia aduanera y para el combate al narcotráfico, así como en áreas científica, tecnología, educación y cultura.
Respecto al Mundial de Fútbol, dijo que la representación diplomática en Doha, Qatar, mantendrá sus puertas abiertas para los miles de connacionales que requieran información, protección, atención, orientación, asistencia y otros servicios consulares que requieran.
El aspirante agregó que, en los meses previos al mundial, la diplomacia ha sido una herramienta para informar a las personas mexicanas interesadas en viajar a aquella nación.
En otra sesión, las comisiones de Relaciones Exteriores y Relaciones Exteriores América Latina y el Caribe, que presiden el senador Héctor Vasconcelos y la senadora Beatriz Paredes Rangel, respectivamente, avalaron la ratificación de Alicia Isabel Adriana Bárcena Ibarra, como embajadora de México en la República de Chile, propuesta por el Ejecutivo federal.
Paredes Rangel recordó que México y Chile tienen 200 años de relación bilateral, y que en 1831 suscribieron un tratado de paz, comercio y amistad, por el cual se proclamó la “amistad perpetua entre ambos pueblos”.
Al exponer su programa de trabajo, Bárcena Ibarra destacó que buscaría ampliar los vínculos de colaboración en materia política, económica, comercial, turística, cultural, así como en el deporte, temas ambientales y sociales.
Además, reforzaría los lazos de amistad histórica entre México y Chile, e impulsaría la unidad entre los países de América Latina y el Caribe; incluso, propone ampliar la agenda de la Alianza del Pacífico en áreas como la oceanografía y biodiversidad.
Otras de las acciones, dijo, sería aplicar una política feminista y paritaria en todos los programas de la embajada y en la relación bilateral; incluso, promovería la interacción parlamentaria y el intercambio de experiencias en materia de seguridad.
Consideró que ambos países pueden contribuir en áreas como en ciencia, tecnología, política hacendaria, comunidades indígenas, migración y minería.
Adriana Bárcena explicó que Chile, a pesar de tener un aislamiento geográfico, está altamente conectado política y comercialmente con el mundo, ya que ha firmado más de 32 acuerdos con diferentes naciones y es un país que mueve la aguja política global.
