Mexico City. President Enrique Peña Nieto said that Mexico will not pay for the wall that the next US government intends to build.
Before ambassadors and consuls he emphasized that in the negotiation with the American administration will not accept anything that goes against the interests of the country nor of the dignity of the Mexicans.
At a luncheon with diplomats, he rejected threats by US President-elect Donald Trump against private capital.
Peña Nieto admitted that the world is aware of how Mexico reacts to two new challenges: leaving behind the old scheme to fix the price of gasoline and start a new stage in the bilateral relationship with the United States.
In the first case, he said, we observed how we made a difficult and unpopular decision but also an urgent decision and for which many countries have already moved, and there is understanding towards the measure adopted.
Regarding the new stage in the ties with the United States, he assured that the world sees Mexico as a country that with boldness and pragmatism will with dialogue and understanding to reach agreements, to achieve concrete benefits for Mexicans.
We will promote an open and complete negotiation. All issues of the bilateral relationship are on the table: security, migration and trade.
"We will never accept anything against our dignity as a country or our dignity as Mexicans. Basic principles such as our sovereignty, national interest and the protection of our nationals are not negotiable, "Peña said after the press conference given by the president-elect of the United States.
And he continued: it is clear that we have some differences with the next US government, as the subject of a wall that of course Mexico will not pay.
He assured ambassadors and consuls that they will work to have a good relationship with the United States and its president.
For Mexico any negotiation with that country should include these goals: that the United States should make a commitment to work in a responsible way to stop illegal arms trafficking to Mexico, as well as curb illicit money received by criminal organizations.
The second objective is to ensure that any repatriation of undocumented persons continues in an orderly and coordinated manner, guaranteeing human treatment and respect for the rights of Mexican migrants.
The chief executive said that the free flow of remittances from the nationals in the United States, which totaled more than 24 billion dollars by November of last year, should be maintained. The livelihood of millions of Mexican families depends on these resources.
Regarding the North American Free Trade Agreement, he said he would seek agreements that would give certainty to investment between Mexico, the United States and Canada, and that it extend to companies that have chosen Mexico as an investment destination, a productive platform and for exportation.
"We will defend domestic and foreign investments in Mexico. We are going to make sure that Mexico remains a reliable and attractive destination to invest, "he said.
There he rejected any attempt "to influence the investment decisions of companies based on fear or threats."
