China willing to negotiate FTA with Mexico
July 3, 2017 Category Foreign trade, Weekly
China is open to negotiating a free-trade agreement (FTA) with Mexico, the Chinese Ambassador to the country Qiu Xiaoqi said. No discussions had been held so far. “Mexico is China’s second-largest trading partner in Latin America and China is Mexico’s second-largest trading partner in the world. This is a highly important relationship and we have great interest in deepening and broadening these ties,” he said. Mexico is keen to cut its economic reliance on the United States out of concern that access may be restricted by the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump, who has pledged to protect American jobs from going outside the country. Qiu’s comments are a potential boost for President Enrique Pena Nieto, whose attitude towards China has been mixed – leading to an off-and-on trade relationship. “I think any agreement to make trade easier is very worthy,” Qiu told the media after a speech at the National Autonomous University of Mexico to mark the 20th anniversary of Hong Kong’s return to China.
