MOSCOW, June 11 (Sputnik) - The Mexico House, which is set to open in Moscow for the FIFA World Cup on Friday, will help "build bridges" between the two nations, Mexican Ambassador to Russia Norma Pensado Moreno said on Monday.
The Mexico House will be located at the Gostiny Dvor exhibition center, situated next to Red Square in the center of the Russian capital.
"The relations between Mexico and Russia have always been good. It's important to resume positive relations. The Mexico House in Moscow is an opportunity to show the Mexican culture so that Russian people learn more about Mexico, about the country's culture, and to build bridges between our cultures. We believe in bridges, not in war," the ambassador said.
She added that the World Cup would show Mexican fans how great Russia is and they would continue visiting the country as tourists after the tournament.
Mexico's first match at the World Cup will be against reigning champions Germany in Moscow on June 17. The team will also face Sweden and South Korea in their other two Group F matches.
Russia's first-ever FIFA World Cup will be held at 12 stadiums across 11 cities from June 14 to July 15.
