Japanese people in Mexico have suffered from assaults. The Japanese ambassador to Mexico, Kozo Honsei, emphasized that the cases he has seen occur on highways like Highway 45-D. He emphasized that while they have always received security support from the Guanajuato state government, they also seek federal support.
He mentioned that 2,000 Japanese currently live in the state, which has more than 300 Japanese companies. During the recent meeting with the state governor, Libia Dennise García Muñoz Ledo, they fine-tuned agreements on social agendas to further collaborate with these organizations.

“The factories along Highway 45-D, well, I’ve seen many industrial areas, and many Japanese people live here in Irapuato as well, so, well, we would like to have protection, but of course, I understand the difficulty of maintaining security, so we would like to have more support from the federal government, as well as the state government.”
Highway 45-D is a toll road that connects several municipalities in the industrial corridor. It’s worth remembering that FSPE units are currently operating through the state highway unit. To prevent these incidents, the Japanese ambassador emphasized the federal government’s request for security.
“The Guanajuato government has provided surveillance, as well as exchanged security measures with the governor’s leadership, as has the Ministry of the Interior, and yesterday the Ministry of Economy was there,” he noted regarding the recent meeting with state officials.
At an event held at the Guanajuato Cultural Forum, he asserted that despite this situation, Japanese people living in the state of Guanajuato are living well, as they have felt the support of the local population and authorities. This situation is not new, but has been going on for more than 30 years. It was approximately from 1990 to 1991 that Guanajuato invited investors to operate, and the 300 companies that remain here support them.
“In general, the Japanese who are here are doing well, happy. They’ve settled in quite well, and they treat us well. So we can collaborate even more, so that Japanese companies and citizens can carry out their work here, alongside the economic development of this state, and we can have greater ties to the economic and social agenda.”
He emphasized that some objectives are aligned with those of state agencies, such as clean energy, but also social policies.
“Guanajuato absorbs the number one Japanese company here in Mexico. This means that the government has tried to introduce Japanese investment more than other states and that there is a positive relationship, a relationship of trust.”
He emphasized that something that characterizes Guanajuato, and that has been the territory in which they have preferred to invest, is the willingness that exists on the part of the authorities, driven by both the state and each municipality.
