Este artículo tiene como objetivo exponer el devenir histórico del régimen de cooperación establecido entre el Consejo de Ayuda Mutua Económica (CAME) y México a partir de la firma del acuerdo de cooperación entre ambos actores en agosto de 1975 y vigente hasta la extinción del organismo en 1991. A tal fin, se analizan, brevemente, los antecedentes de este organismo internacional -creado en el seno del llamado bloque socialista- y se hace una revisión de la cooperación internacional en la concepción de dicho organismo. A continuación, tras repasar el contexto histórico de la negociación del acuerdo señalado, se revisa en concreto su marco jurídico, contexto y alcances. Este artículo pretende, así, contribuir a la memoria histórica de la política de cooperación y su régimen internacional; en particular, a la referente al CAME y México en el período conocido como la Guerra Fría.

This paper aims to describe the historical evolution of the cooperation between the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (COMECON) and Mexico following the signing of their cooperation agreement in August 1975, which remained in effect until COMECON'S demise in 1991. To this end, a brief analysis is made of the antecedents of this international body, which was created within the so-called socialist bloc, and a review is conducted of the body's conception of international cooperation. After covering the historical context behind the mentioned agreement's negotiation, its legal framework, context and scope are reviewed. This paper thereby seeks to contribute to the historical memory of cooperation policy and its international regime, with particular reference to COMECON and Mexico in the period known as the Cold War.
