Diplomatic Room 5-B 2026: the room where the ambassador presents credentials to the diplomatic corps and the host’s piece is already on the protocol lectern
Diplomatic Room 5-B 2026 is the protocol hall of the government conference centre, connected through a technical corridor closed to Government Auditorium 5-A, with 80 horseshoe-format seats in the institutional colour palette of the diplomatic corps, a simultaneous-interpretation booth in Spanish, English and French with a certified-interpreter console for the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores, audio system with individual microphones for the panellists, an eight-seat head table for the ambassador, the chancellor and the diplomatic-corps members, an adjoining protocol room for receptions with cellar service and table service, a press room for the diplomatic beat reporters of La Jornada, El Universal, Reforma and the international network, and capacity for policy briefings and diplomatic receptions running two to four hours. What runs here are the credential-presentation receptions of the diplomatic corps, the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores policy briefings on Mexican foreign policy, the international-cooperation sessions with UN agencies, the independence-anniversary receptions of countries holding diplomatic relations with México, the working sessions of the binational commissions with the United States and Canada under USMCA, and ProMéxico economic-promotion events. Diplomatic Room 5-B 2026 inherits the regulatory compliance of the main plenary but in a more protocol format: merch is delivered at the start of the reception, with compliance of the Secretaría de Relaciones Exteriores diplomatic protocol.
