Newly-appointed Venezuelan and Cuban Ambassadors to Mexico Thursday showed confidence that they would improve their countries' ties with the conservative Mexican government, but sent no clear signals of an upcoming meeting among the Heads of State.

After presenting their credentials to President Felipe Calderón, the two diplomats stressed the historical "brotherly" relations between their countries and Mexico, but refrained from referring to the impasses recorded under the administration of conservative Vicente Fox (2000-2006).

"Mexico is a brother country we Cubans hold in our hearts. I am set to work with enthusiasm, dedication and with all my strength to make the ties between our two countries to reach the level demanded by our respective peoples," said Cuban Ambassador Manuel  Francisco Aguilera, as quoted by AFP.

Venezuela is willing "not only to bring bilateral relations back to normal, but far more important to improve them," said Venezuelan Ambassador Roy Chaderton Matos.

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez has been sent "high-level signals" both from Calderón and his Minister of Foreign Affairs Patricia Espinosa, and the Venezuelan ruler has replied by "turning the page over." "This shows willingness to write a new book on the Venezuela-Mexico relations with a superb letter and with an excellent grammar," Chadderton said, adding that a meeting between Calderón and Chávez has not been scheduled yet.
