“As Oklahoma’s Mexican community grows, I’m glad that these Oklahomans can get the services they need right here in our state, rather driving hours across state lines for simple paperwork,” said Stitt. “I am thankful for the collaboration and shared vision between Oklahoma and Mexico that made this a reality.”
Consul Edurne Pineda has been appointed as Head Consul. She has been working to help establish a consulate in Oklahoma.
“It has been an honor to work with Governor Stitt to establish the Mexican Consulate in Oklahoma City,” said Pineda. “I am certain that we will be great partners towards forging a better development for the Mexican community in the state and a deeper and stronger relationship between Mexico and Oklahoma.”
The new consulate is expected to be operating by the end of spring 2023.
