Sir, - I was very disappointed to read in The Irish Times (June 20th) that the Mexican Ambassador, Mr Augustin Guitierrez Canet, has been recalled to Mexico City. Last Wednesday I had the pleasure of meeting Mr Canet for an interview. I am doing a project on Mexico in school at the moment and the Ambassador kindly agreed to see me and discuss life in his country and his ambassadorial duties in Ireland. Mr Canet was so gracious and helpful, so enthusiastic about his country's rich heritage and so approachable, that I feel that the Mexican government will be hard pressed to find a better Ambassador to Ireland. - Yours, etc.,
