Juan Ramón de la Fuente, the Secretary of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, highlighted the importance of bilateral relations with Canada during a meeting with a significant Canadian business delegation. In light of the upcoming review of the T-MEC agreement, De la Fuente reassured the visiting Canadian entrepreneurs that Mexico is a "reliable partner," emphasizing the collaborative opportunities that lie ahead. He expressed determination to strengthen the relationship through continued cooperation and friendship, which he believes will benefit both nations.

The meeting, organized by the Canadian embassy in Mexico, marked a historic moment as it was the largest Canadian business delegation to visit Mexico in 30 years, featuring representatives from 246 organizations focused on various sectors including agroindustry, information technology, clean technologies, and the creative industry. This substantial representation underlines the growing optimism and partnership potential in these critical sectors, presenting both countries with an opportunity to enhance their trade and economic ties.

De la Fuente’s call for collaboration reflects broader economic strategies aimed at fostering regional stability and prosperity. By reinforcing the bond between Mexico and Canada, particularly before the T-MEC review, Mexico hopes to promote its role in North America as a dependable trade partner that can support not only Canadian interests but also its own in the evolving economic landscape of the region.
