I congratulate Claudia Sheinbaum on her historic election as the first woman President of Mexico.  I look forward to working closely with President-elect Sheinbaum in the spirit of partnership and friendship that reflects the enduring bonds between our two countries.  I expressed our commitment to advancing the values and interests of both our nations to the benefit of our peoples.  I also congratulate the Mexican people for conducting a nationwide successful democratic electoral process involving races for more than 20,000 positions at the local, state, and federal levels.
