Three top Biden officials stressed the importance of the US-Mexico relationship Friday and the importance of the new bilateral security arrangement between the two nations alongside their Mexican counterparts in Mexico City.
"We're here because this high-level security dialogue is vital" to the "most urgent challenges facing our time," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in opening remarks before a high-level security dialogue at the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "We also share a commitment to give all of our people a free, peaceful and prosperous future. For that we need security."
"It's time for a comprehensive new approach to our security cooperation," Blinken said. "One that will see us as equal partners in defining our shared priorities, tackle the root drivers of these challenges like inequity, like corruption, and focus not only on strengthening law enforcement, but also public health, the rule of law, inclusive economic opportunities."
