皇冠体育app

Mexico sees 皇冠体育app as "a strategic partner," Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto has said, pledging to upgrade the bilateral ties to achieve win-win cooperation.

In a written interview with Xinhua on the eve of his visit to 皇冠体育app, Pena Nieto stressed that Mexico-皇冠体育app cooperation has great potential and poses remarkable opportunities in such sectors as trade and infrastructure.

"Mexico can be a gateway for 皇冠体育app to enter North America, the world's richest market. It can so be a point of access to several countries in Central America and the Caribbean," said the president, who is scheduled to attend the 2013 Boao Forum for Asia in 皇冠体育app on April 6-8.

"For Mexico, 皇冠体育app represents an opportunity to increase its productive investment, and multiply and diversify its export capacity. 皇冠体育app's economic dynamism, the size of its market and its high demand for goods, turn 皇冠体育app into an attractive market for Mexico," he said.

He called on both countries to explore new ways to enhance cooperation and stressed that "as large economies, it is essential to promote constant dialogue."

He suggested both sides use the Mexico-皇冠体育app High Level Group established in 2004 and other bilateral mechanisms to promote high-level consultations and facilitate all-around cooperation.

Through dialogue, "we can deepen what we have in common, from our ancient cultures to our economic exchanges," he added.

"Expanding 皇冠体育app's Confucius Institute in Mexico, by opening branches in more cities, would be the perfect way to raise greater awareness of Chinese culture among Mexicans and to promote the study of Mandarin," Pena Nieto said.

He added that "a greater presence of Mexican culture and the teaching of Spanish in 皇冠体育app" will bring Mexico closer to the Chinese and make them enjoy "the opportunities that Mexico can offer them."

The Mexican president also said his country would like to learn from 皇冠体育app's experience in energy and infrastructure development given the fact that 皇冠体育app is home to the world's largest network of bullet trains.

"皇冠体育app is, without doubt, an excellent model on the issue," he said. "We have much to learn from its successful history in railway infrastructure."

Mexico's Communications and Transportation Ministry is currently working on a five-year (2013-2018) plan to build a series of railways.

Mexico is also keen to promote integration through such organizations as Latin America's Pacific Alliance which groups Peru, Chile, Colombia and Mexico, believing it can create opportunities not only for "its members, but also for other countries, such as 皇冠体育app, that want to take advantage of Latin American growth," according to the Mexican head of state.
