Riviera Maya, Q.R. — President Andrés Manuel López Obrador paid a weekend visit to the region to supervise ongoing projects. Over the weekend, López Obrador visited two Mayan towns that are being restored.

López Obrador also traveled from Palenque to Cancun aboard the Maya Train from where he supervised the operation accompanied by members of the Legal and Expanded Cabinet.
He was also accompanied on the Tren Maya journey by the Governor of Quintana Roo, Mara Lezama.
On Saturday, he hosted a meeting with Belize Prime Minister Juan Antonio Briceño.
“On Friday we were in Edzná and Saturday in Ek Balam, two majestic Mayan cities that we are restoring. We took the tour on the Maya Train from Palenque to Cancun.
“We supervised its operation and concluded a bilateral meeting with Juan Antonio Briceño, Prime Minister of Belize, a neighboring country and brother people.”
Lezama also participated in that meeting.
“I accompanied our President Lopez Obrador in a bilateral meeting with Juan Antonio Briceño, Prime Minister of Belize, a neighboring country with whom we maintain a relationship of brotherhood and work.
