The commemoration of the centenary of Octavio Paz, by public and private institutions, has been prolific in events, exhibitions, round tables, editions and reviews of his multiple legacies. In it, a reflection could not be absent about the importance that it had in this chancellery, and the importance that this chancellery had in its development. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs joins all these recognitions for a particular reason: Octavio Paz was a neat professional and irreproachable member of the Mexican Foreign Service, a remarkable man of ideas and letters, but also of diplomatic actions in favor of our country and of its international action.
