A Correct answer
Explanation

The Estrada Doctrine is Mexico's foreign policy principle regarding recognition of governments. It states that Mexico should grant or withhold recognition based on its own interests, but will always maintain diplomatic relations. This differs from the traditional approach of recognizing governments based on legitimacy. Named after Foreign Secretary Genaro Estrada, it emphasizes that recognition is an executive act and other countries should not judge legitimacy of foreign governments.
