| Sumario: | After breaking its relations with Hungary in 1941, on the eve of its entry into World War II, Mexico did not reestablish its diplomatic relations with this country, Mexico did not reestablish its diplomatic relations with Hungary —as with much of Central-Eastern Europe— until the mid-1970s. This decision was determined by the scant dimension of commercial and cultural exchanges, by the triangulation between its politics towards the countries of the Soviet bloc and the bilateral relationship established with the United States and for the conversion into an international policy principle of the reinterpretation of the Estrada Doctrine applied by Mexico to the Spanish case. The Soviet intervention in Hungary in 1956 extended this policy into the next two decades of the Cold War. The new orientation of Mexican foreign policy during Echeverría’s administration allowed the reestablishment of bilateral ties in 1974 within the framework of the process of normalization of diplomatic and economic relations with the socialist bloc. |
