The Philippine Embassy in Mexico met with Mr. José Luis Sosa and Ms. Lizeth Flores Molina of the Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo (UAEH) on 10 March 2025 and welcomed their invitation for the Philippines to be the guest country of honor at the university’s 2026 Feria Universitaria del Libro (FUL), the university’s annual book fair that has been held for thirty-seven (37) years. The 2026 FUL will be from August to September 2026, lasting 10 to 11 days.

The meeting focused on the presentation of the FUL and the activities that the Embassy can conduct during the event.

Mr. Sosa raised that UAEH will give an International Honorary Professorship to one Filipino who has excelled in their area of specialization at an international level. Through this program, UAEH can strengthen ties with universities from other countries and generate academic collaboration networks. This is an opportunity to forge academic cooperation agreements with universities in the Philippines. END.
