Dissolution of Czechoslovakia
The Dissolution of Czechoslovakia (, ), which took effect on 1 January 1993, was an event that saw the self-determined split of the federal state of Czechoslovakia into the Czech Republic and Slovakia, entities that had arisen before as the "Czech Socialist Republic" and the "Slovak Socialist Republic" in 1969 within the framework of a federal republic.
Mexico–Slovakia relations
In December 1992, Czechoslovakia was split into Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Mexico established diplomatic relations with newly independent Slovakia on 1 January 1993. Initially, Mexico maintained diplomatic relations with Slovakia from its embassy in Prague, however, in 1996 Mexico accredited relations to Slovakia from its embassy in Vienna, Austria due to its close proximity to the Slovak capital of Bratislava. During this time, Slovakia opened a resident embassy in Mexico City.
