According to the U.S. State Department, Pena and Kerry talked about economic growth and security cooperation between the two nations. U.S. Secretary of State, John Kerry, said that although the differences that Mexico and the United States might have cannot be solved from one day to another, both nations maintain a stronger and more dynamic relationship than ever.
At a press conference with his Mexican counterpart, José Antonio Meade, the head of U.S. diplomacy also assured Mexico that President Barack Obama is determined to reform the immigration system in the country, which will not only improve the American economy, but will also provide relief to millions of families of migrants living in the country. "No doubt this is an issue of justice and our hope to achieve considerable results," he said.
"Things do not change overnight," said John Kerry. "But we are in the course of our program to deal with any bump in the road and face difficulties in areas such as border patrol, military law enforcement activities at the border, and we have made great progress ," he said. Kerry also highlighted the work of the Mexican government in the fight against drug trafficking, which he said was reflected in capturing Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
