The United States and the European Union Commission in a separate statement, have congratulated Claudia Sheinbaum on her historic election as the first female President of Mexico.
Secretary of State, Antony Blinken on behalf of the United States also congratulated the people of Mexico for making their voices heard through the democratic process, adding that he look forward to building on the strong U.S.-Mexico partnership with President-elect Sheinbaum.
He reaffirmed that United States deeply value its special relationship with Mexico that is based on shared democratic values, deep economic ties, and strong cultural and familial connections.
The Secretary noted that United States is committed to working together with Mexico as neighbors, friends, and partners, to advance its mutual economic and security interests while extended his best wishes to President-elect Sheinbaum and the people of Mexico.
Also,.the European Union Commission commended the Mexican people for their strong attachment to democracy demonstrated throughout the campaign for the general elections and on election day.
The EU seek to further strengthen its strategic partnership with Mexico, built on common interests in many areas, and on a shared commitment to democracy, human rights and the rules-based multilateral global order. 
While looking forward to working with the newly elected authorities to deepen collaboration for the benefit of our citizens in all areas of mutual interest, such as economic relations, the green transition, social inclusion, security and the digital agenda.
Claudia Sheinbaum, a climate scientist and former mayor of Mexico City, won her nation’s elections on Sunday in a landslide victory that brought a double milestone: She became the first woman, and the first Jewish person, to be elected president of Mexico.
Early results indicated that Ms. Sheinbaum, 61, prevailed in what the authorities called the largest election in Mexico’s history, with the highest number of voters taking part and the most seats up for grabs.
It was a landmark vote that saw not one, but two, women vying to lead one of the hemisphere’s biggest nations. And it will put a Jewish leader at the helm of one of the world’s largest predominantly Catholic countries.
