ルソン島の戦い
Since establishing diplomatic relations, contact between the two nations increased through trade and commerce. In May 1942, Mexico declared war on the Axis Powers, which included Japan, and joined World War II.

After the war, diplomatic relations were restored and have continued unabated ever since.
