In a significant move to bolster economic relations, the European Union and Mexico have inked new trade agreements during the 8th EU-Mexico Summit in Mexico City. These agreements are designed to fortify both political and economic connections.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen noted that over 11,000 European firms are currently present in Mexico, contributing to more than five million jobs, both directly and indirectly.
Highlighting the robust economic partnership, von der Leyen pointed out that the EU ranks as the second-largest exporter destination for Mexican goods.
The signing of the Modernised Global Agreement (MGA) and the interim Trade Agreement (iTA) represents a significant advancement in their long-lasting cooperation. These agreements are anticipated to elevate trade levels, attract increased investments, and generate fresh opportunities for businesses and workforce from both regions.
Following the agreement, von der Leyen emphasized the commitment of both parties to a strategic partnership, sharing a unified vision for future collaboration.
She asserted that the updated agreements will provide a strong impetus for trade and investment, bolster job growth, and enhance collaborative efforts across various policy arenas.
As global economic uncertainties grow, these agreements reflect a mutual desire to deepen cooperation and foster economic stability through enhanced international partnerships.
