When to schedule
Standard business hours (9 AM–5 PM, Mon–Fri) in Mexico City and Ürümqi don't overlap on the same weekday. Ürümqi is 12 hours ahead of Mexico City.
With some flexibility, there are two workable windows outside standard hours, depending on which side takes the early or late slot:
- 7 AM–8 AM in Mexico City (7 PM–8 PM in Ürümqi) — suggest 7:00 AM Mexico City (7:00 PM Ürümqi).
- 7 PM–8 PM in Mexico City (7 AM–8 AM the next day in Ürümqi) — suggest 7:00 PM Mexico City (7:00 AM Ürümqi).
Either is an early start or late finish for one side, but workable for a one-off meeting.
Public holidays in 2026
National public holidays can affect availability — a counterpart is likely off work on their own holidays, so it's worth planning meetings and deadlines around them.
