The government of Belize is about to sign a treaty with Mexico with new border markers within the coming weeks. Our western border was moved 2 years ago under the negotiations with Guatemala, now the Mexican foreign minstry is claiming that Musa will sign a new border treaty with Mexico that will see Mexico reclaiming part of the maritime areas in the bay of corozal. Univision Tv reported this on January 3, 2006. see www.univision.com for Jan 3. 2007 (and brush up on your Spanish)

México reintegrará a Belice una porción de territorio en la frontera sur
02 de Enero de 2007, 06:47pm ET México, 2 ene (EFE).- El Gobierno mexicano reintegrará a Belice una porción de territorio que equivocadamente fue mal delimitada hace más de un siglo, informó hoy la Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores. La Cancillería mexicana precisó en un comunicado que esta acción se concretará en el futuro con un nuevo tratado de límites con Belice. "En principio ya se logró un acuerdo inicial y sólo faltan las observaciones de Belice en algunos puntos de la frontera, como por ejemplo la Bahía de Chetumal, donde el tratado vigente celebrado en julio de 1893, con equívocos importantes, considera una porción que siempre ha sido de Belice como territorio mexicano", sostuvo el ministerio. La cancillería mexicana recordó que desde 2003 el Gobierno mexicano presentó a Belice la propuesta de trazo de la Línea Divisoria, y que "se encuentra en proceso de evaluación en ese país". Las autoridades de ambas naciones se encuentran en reuniones "técnicas", lo que permitirá definir las bases de la suscripción de un tratado de límites entre ambas naciones, seg�n el comunicado. Por otra parte, la misma dependencia gubernamental informó en otro comunicado que México y Guatemala realizan conjuntamente trabajos de limpieza en la frontera com�n. Esta acción permite conservar y definir la delimitación entre ambas naciones, cuya extensión es de 573 kilómetros, seg�n la Secretaría. Entre los trabajos que se desarrolla están la limpieza de la brecha fronteriza, la construcción y el mantenimiento de monumentos limítrofes internacionales, la delimitación de la frontera marítima y la estabilización del río Suchiate.

Mexico will return to Belize a portion of the territory on the Southern Frontier Jan 02, 07 6:47 P.M.
It was made known today by the secretary of External Relations that the Government of Mexico will return a portion of territory to Belize that was incorrectly absorbed by Mexico more that a Century ago. The Mexican Chancellor confirmed in a communiqué that this action would be formalized in the future with a new Territorial Agreement with Belize.
"An initial agreement has already been reached and all we are waiting for are Belize's observations on some points in the frontier, for example The Bay of Chetumal, where the actual treaty signed in July of 1893, with important mistakes, considers a portion that has always been the territory of Belize, as Mexican territory" the Minister went on to say.
The Mexican Chancellor records that from 2003, the Government of Mexico had presented to the Belizean Government a proposed treaty of the border divisions and that this "is currently being evaluated in that country".
Authorities from both nations are presently conducting Technical meetings that will permit them to define the basis for the signing of a new treaty, according to the communiqué.
On the other hand, the same ministry of the government informed in another communiqué that Mexico and Guatemala are conducting joint studies in an effort to clean up their common borders.
This action will permit conserving and establishing border limitations between the both nations which has an extension of 573 kilometers, according to the secretary.
Included in the studies that are being carried out, is the cleaning up and the development of the border areas, and the maintenance of the of international monuments as markers, the establishing of the maritime borders and the stabilizing of the Suchiate river.

from a friend....
Don't we already have a bogus border at the north??
If you look at the map, you see that the Belize border on the Eastern Peninsula is at Bacalar Chico. It has always seemed to me that it should be just a little south of the 19th parallel, roughly due east of Chetumal. That would include Xcalac and associated ruins and be a valuable addition to Belize. (We could teach them how to pronounce 'Xcalac'. <grin>)

Belize and Mexico renegotiating border?
Posted: 05/01/2007 - 10:50 AM Author: Adele Ramos
Despite repeated attempts, Amandala was unable to get comment today from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Belize on a statement posted on the website of the Mexico Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claiming that Belize and Mexico are renegotiating a border treaty of July 1893. What this all means for Belizeans and Mexicans on the two sides of the Rio Hondo is uncertain to us, since Mexican officials here were also unable to provide full details when we contacted them today. This evening Mexico's Ambassador to Belize, H.E. Arturo Trejo, said that he is aware that negotiations to redraft the treaty have been ongoing, but in his opinion, the press release was premature and the media has been misinterpreting the matter. We note that the Government of Belize has not issued a public statement, but the ruling party newspaper, The Belize Times, got the scoop Wednesday, as the story, dated December 3, appears on their front page. Titled "Mexico to return lands to Belize," the article claims that, "The Government of Mexico today announced that it will return land to Belize which had been wrongfully delimitated over 1,000 years ago. "In principle, an initial agreement has been reached," says the release from the Mexican Foreign Affairs Ministry. "Only Belize's observations regarding several points on the border are missing; for example, the Chetumal Bay, where the treaty currently in force, that was signed in July 1893 with important errors, considers land that has always belonged to Belize, as Mexican territory." Ambassador Trejo told our newspaper that the changes to the treaty will change nothing on the ground, however, and no land would change hands. He said the objective is to make some corrections in the coordinates in the treaty. According to the Mexican MFA, Belizean Government officials have been meeting with officials of the Mexico-Belize International Boundary and Water Commission, the Mexican Navy, and the National Institute of Statistics.
