On 29 June 2024, the Secretariat of Foreign Affairs of Mexico invited over 33 foreign diplomatic missions and international organizations in Mexico to join in Mexico's 45th Pride parade to celebrate gender diversity on Reforma Avenue in the heart of Mexico City.

 

On this occasion, H.E. Mr. Rooge Thammongkol, Ambassador of Thailand to Mexico, led a team of the Royal Thai Embassy‘s officials and local staff to join in the Mexico's Pride Parade for the first time. This participation of the Embassy is also a celebration of the Thai parliament which recently passed the marriage equality bill in June 2024, making Thailand the first country in Southeast Asia to recognise same-sex marriage.

 

Mexico's annual Pride Parade is one of the largest Pride events in Latin America. There is an average of 300,000 people attending the event each year.
