MEXICO CITY Nov 13 (Reuters) - Mexico's government reopened all its Gulf of Mexico ports, including the three major oil-exporting ports, on Sunday.

The oil-exporting ports Cayo Arcas, Dos Bocas and Coatzacoalcos in the Gulf of Mexico had been closed because of bad weather since Wednesday.

Coatzacoalcos reopened on Saturday, the government said. [ID:nN1E7AB06D]
