Mexico and China can benefit from stronger relationship

Mexico is in a great moment. Macroeconomic stability and a low debt rate are part of our strengths as one of the world's top 15 economies.

We are an economy with a broad social perspective fully inserted into international trade, with an exchange of goods and services that amounts to more than US$700 billion each year. We offer a secure and trustworthy environment for foreign investment.

Our political institutions show increasing strength and vitality. Our country has vast amounts of natural resources, a solid industrial basis and increasing innovation, as well as a privileged geographic location.

This moment of our history embodies an important promise of well-being and development for Mexican people through structural reforms, key for the country's development. We are a nation determined to transform itself and to grow.

From the beginning of his administration, President Enrique Peña Nieto committed to boost a significant national effort aimed at achieving prosperity by means of fighting against poverty and inequality, by providing high-quality education across the country and consolidating Mexico as an actor with global responsibility.

To reach national goals, foreign policy will contribute to Mexico's development as never before. At the same time, our country will consolidate its position as an advocate of international order and stability, as a supporter of global free trade, as a friendly and safe destination for foreign investment, and as a responsible state and promoter of peace and human development.
