On Monday, the XXI Mexico-Canada Interparliamentary Meeting ( IPM ) was inagurated in Mexico City , as interparliamentary relations are an integral part of the bonds between both countries.
"Recently, Mexico and Canada have seen each other through a thick glass called the United States , taking for granted that communication would allow comprehension. Yet, we realize today that thickness distorts appreciation," stated deputy Victor Giorgiana Jiménez ( PRI ).
The current situation of both countries regarding U.S. threats to reverse an integration process is what has forced Mexico and Canada to reassess the importance of broadening ties beyond the shared agenda with the U.S. continued Victor Giorgiana.
Canadian Senator George Fury
highlighted that Canada-Mexico relations go beyond the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ), thus assuring that Canadians support Mexico on the trilateral agreement.
