The Secretariat of Public Security of the State of Chiapas held a meeting with representatives from the Embassy of Israel in Mexico, during which the state government outlined its intention to strengthen cooperative ties in the field of security and present its institutional strategy to diplomatic stakeholders.
The meeting was led by the head of the agency, Óscar Alberto Aparicio Avendaño, alongside the Undersecretary of Public Security, Álvaro Cuauhtémoc Serrano Escobedo, and featured the participation of Consul Hila Burg, Attaché Zvi Michaeli, and Advisor Rocío Cervantes.
According to information released by the agency itself via press releases and social media, the meeting was part of a state government strategy to maintain communication with diplomatic missions accredited in Mexico and to provide an overview of the current security landscape.
“The instruction from the Governor, Dr. Eduardo Ramírez Aguilar, is to maintain fluid communication with all consuls or ambassadors currently in Mexico, to provide them with security, and to give them an overview of how we are currently working in Chiapas,” the official stated during the meeting.
The official highlighted that Chiapas is currently undergoing a phase of improvement regarding security, although no indicators, figures, or public documentation were presented in the released materials to substantiate this claim.
“Today, we rank first in terms of positive security outcomes; this is the result of the tremendous work and strong political will of the Governor, who personally presides over the Peace and Security Roundtable for Chiapas every single day.”
During the meeting, the state official signaled the government’s willingness to collaborate with foreign diplomatic missions, though without specifying any mechanisms, programs, or specific agreements resulting from the meeting.
On behalf of the Israeli delegation, Consul Hila Burg expressed a favorable assessment of security conditions within the state and affirmed that there are no travel restrictions for visiting Chiapas.
“It is very safe here—and speaking as a consul, I feel very, very safe myself; people can travel to Chiapas without any issues.”
The diplomat also expressed interest in maintaining the institutional relationship and exploring potential cooperative projects, although no specific lines of work or concrete agreements were defined during the meeting. The government of Chiapas framed the meeting as part of its policy of international engagement, aimed at bolstering its security strategy and opening avenues for cooperation with diplomatic actors—though, to date, no specific results stemming from the encounter have been disclosed.
