(Delivered in Spanish)
 
   Thank you, Mr. Vice-President.

   Japan welcomes that Mexico has taken steps to improve living conditions of the population in extreme poverty, and to promote human rights of women and girls including adoption of a feminist foreign policy and an increase of its federal budgets to support the victims of violence.
 
   Japan recommends that Mexico:

   1) take further steps to ensure that the policies to promote and protect the rights of women and girls, migrants and refugee children are implemented; and

   2) uphold the rights of the child by providing necessary support for children to remain in school and have access to health services.

   I thank you.
