Dr. Jara, SEP representative, and Ambassador, Agustín García Lopez, on behalf of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, encouraged the scholarship winners to justly represent Mexicans as being tolerant, hardworking, innovators, and all-embracing.
The United States Ambassador in Mexico, Roberta Jackson, called on the winners to take advantage of this opportunity to show Americans the real Mexico, beyond stereotypes, and to show them the opportunities awaiting for them in our country.
