On January 16, 1992, the peace accords for El Salvador were signed at Chapultepec Castle in Mexico City. Mexico was one of four countries, with Colombia, Spain and Venezuela, in the group of friends of the United Nations Secretary-General that supported the negotiation.
A text published in the journal of Mexico’s foreign ministry describes Mexico as a country “que en muchas ocasiones ha albergado y ha proporcionado otras formas inestimables de apoyo a la negociación” (that has hosted the negotiation on many occasions and given it other invaluable support). “Las partes decidieron proceder a la firma formal de este acuerdo de paz en México” (The parties decided to sign this peace agreement formally in Mexico).
