Guyana and Mexico are two American nations with very different historical backgrounds . In May 1966 , Guyana obtained independence from the United Kingdom and on 1 March 1973 , Guyana and Mexico established diplomatic relations . Since then , diplomatic relations between both countries have been limited to only international cooperation through organizations such as the United Nations and regional multilateral organizations such as the Caribbean Community ( CARICOM ) . In 1975 , Mexican President President Luis Echeverría paid an official visit to Guyana . In 1981 , Guyanese President Forbes Burnham paid an official visit to Mexico to attend the North – South Summit hosted by Mexican President José López Portillo . Since the initial visits , there have been a few high-level visits between leaders of both nations . Initially , Mexico was accredited to Guyana from its embassy in Port of Spain , Trinidad and Tobago . However , in 2009 Mexico opened its first resident embassy in Georgetown . Since the opening of the embassy , diplomatic relations have strengthened between both nations . In 2013 , both nations celebrated 40 years of diplomatic relations . In October 2015 , Guyanese Prime Minister Moses Nagamootoo paid an official visit to Mexico
