The Mexican president has denied allegations made by a senior US military official that there are more Russian spies in Mexico than anywhere else in the world.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador dismissed the comments, made in a notable reference to the large Russian embassy in Mexico City, which has a reputation for decades as an espionage center.

López Obrador said Mexico is nobody's colony and did not send spies abroad.

The Mexican president's statement follows comments made by General Glenn VanHerck, the head of the U.S. Northern Command, who told a Senate committee yesterday that "most of the GRU members are in Mexico now. They are Russian intelligence personnel. "
