At the beginning of his term, President Enrique Peña Nieto declared that foreign policy would be based on a principle of international cooperation for development (ICD). The objective of this article is to analyze the most salient institutional and factual characteristics of ICD as exercised during this administration, emphasizing the role of Amexcid as the entity responsible for coordinating this activity. The article concludes that, in the respective national and international contexts -understood as structural factors of the ICD- which ranged from favorable to turbulent, the ICD of the 2012-2018 administration was characterized by encouraging progress, but also by a lack of robustness which made it difficult for it to become a foreign policy asset, in line with the expectations aroused.
