The goal of this type of alliance, he noted, is not to replace what is produced in both countries, but rather to leverage the strengths of different sectors.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum advocated this Thursday for leveraging the complementarity of Latin America's diverse economies, highlighting the situation between Brazil and Mexico, as part of seeking new alliances against U.S. trade protectionism.

"There are many things that Mexico and Brazil could do together," the president stated at her morning press conference, one day after meeting with her Brazilian counterpart, Lula da Silva, in Honduras for the CELAC summit.

The goal of this type of alliance, he noted, is not to replace what is produced in both countries, but rather to leverage the strengths of different sectors, such as the automotive and pharmaceutical industries, in which both countries have significant influence.

However, Sheinbaum has not limited this type of alliance to the Brazilian market, but intends to extend it to all of Latin America.

"Our goal is the well-being of the Mexican people, but also the well-being of Latin America and the Caribbean. So, that's why we're proposing to hold a summit, where we can discuss what complementarities we have and how we can expand the economic relationship between Mexico and the countries of the region," he reflected.

The idea, shared by other leaders in the region, is to revitalize Latin America and embrace proposals for greater economic collaboration between countries, all of which are important bilateral partners of the United States.
