“Mexico joining the LAC4 Centre strengthens our presence in Americas and helps further improve regional and bi-regional cooperation on cybersecurity. Mexico as one of the region’s key digital actors brings valuable experiences and perspectives to enrich LAC4’s knowledge exchange and collaborative efforts. This cooperation also offers a practical framework to support Mexico’s own cyber resilience priorities through shared expertise and joint initiatives. We look forward to working closely with Mexican public institutions, as well as the private sector and academia, to promote secure, open and trusted digital development. This partnership underscores the European Union’s long-term engagement in supporting cyber resilience across Latin America.” – Liina Areng, Director of LAC4. 

„By joining LAC4, the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency (ATDT) is making progress in the implementation of the National Cybersecurity Plan. Through this regional initiative, the ATDT – via the General Directorate of Cybersecurity – will strengthen cooperation, information exchange and capacity building in cybersecurity. This enables the country to align with international best practices, reinforce coordination against transnational cyber threats, and actively contribute to building a more secure, resilient, and reliable digital ecosystem, benefiting institutional stability, economic development and the protection of digital rights in the region.” – Heidy Rocha, General Director of Cybersecurity, ATDT 

“I would like to congratulate Mexico on its accession to the LAC4 Centre, a significant step that reaffirms its commitment to strengthening cybersecurity and digital resilience in Latin America and the Caribbean. At a time when cyber threats increasingly affect public institutions, critical infrastructure and economic stability, Mexico’s participation—through the Agency for Digital Transformation and Telecommunications—demonstrates strong leadership and a clear commitment to regional cooperation. Fully aligned with the EU–LAC Digital Alliance, Mexico’s membership will support the development of robust institutions, skilled professionals and EU-aligned frameworks, while contributing to a more secure, resilient and inclusive cyberspace for the benefit of citizens across the region.” – Francisco André, Ambassador of the European Union to Mexico.
