History
The first wave of Greek migrants arrived to Mexico during the Porfiriato years of President Porfirio Díaz; settling primarily in the Pacific state of Sinaloa. During the 1920s more Greek migrants arrived and they contributed greatly to the development of industrial agricultural businesses making the state of Sinaloa the breadbasket of Mexico to this day.
Diplomatic relations between Greece and Mexico were established on the 17 May 1938 immediately after the signing of the Treaty of Friendship between both nations. Between 1955 and 1964 diplomatic relations were carried out between Mexico's embassy in Rome, Italy and Greece's embassy in Washington, D.C., United States; and through their respective honorary consulates.
In 1963, President Adolfo López Mateos became the first Mexican head-of-state to visit Greece. In 1965 resident embassies were established in each other's capitals. In May 1986, Mexican Foreign Secretary Bernardo Sepúlveda Amor paid a visit to Greece to sign bilateral agreements between both nations.
