Mexican President, Enrique Pena Nieto, has named Luis Videgaray as his new foreign minister.
Videgaray was sacked as finance minister last year over the role he played in organising the visit of then-U.S presidential candidate, Donald Trump, who had angered Mexicans with his words.
Videgaray will now lead talks with the Trump administration, including on the wall Trump has promised to build between the US and Mexico.
Announcing the appointment, President Pena Nieto said that the instruction to minister Videgaray is to accelerate the dialogue and contacts so that from the first day of the new U.S administration, Mexico can establish the basis of a constructive working relationship.
Videgaray is replacing Claudia Massieu, who reportedly was opposed to President Pena Nieto hosting Trump.
