I am giving voice to those who have (in public forums) expressed the necessity of changing the regulatory framework to authorize the use of marijuana for medical and scientific purposes.

We agreed to keep up work towards reaching a deal and to summon our special negotiating teams to accelerate their efforts, it was the same thing I agreed to with Prime Minister Trudeau.

Given what happened after this meeting( with President Trump), clearly our bilateral relationship can not be defined by murmurs like those that took place yesterday, our relationship needs to be based on searching for ways to generate mutual respect, build confidence and work with a positive attitude. I can say that I saw that willingness in President Trump.

For this reason, with all humility I ask your forgiveness, i reiterate my sincere and profound apology for the offense and indignation I have caused you.

In different places we are presented with political actors and political leaders who assume populist and demagogic positions, and try to eliminate or destroy ... that which has taken decades to build.

The terms of the drugs debate are changing in Mexico and the rest of the world.

Our country has suffered the harmful effects of drug-linked organized crime. Thankfully, a new global consensus is gradually gathering steam in favor of a reform to the international drug regime, instead of criminalizing consumers, it will offer alternatives and opportunities.

We should be flexible to change that which has not yielded results, the paradigm based essentially in prohibitionism, the so-called 'War on Drugs' ... (which) has not been able to limit production, trafficking nor the global consumption of drugs.

Sadly, the air quality, particularly in the Valley of Mexico, has been badly deteriorating over the last months and years, we need to go further, be braver and particularly be more determined to make sure that from now on, and over the next years, we avoid having a contaminated atmosphere that puts at risk the health of the people who live in this great megalopolis.

Despite low international oil prices, the world is trusting and investing in Mexico, this is not the time to stop. This is the time to move forward.

This opening to imports of third parties is a forceful action that will spur a high level of private investment.

We'll need to establish a debate ... and the federal government is open to that, so that along with the legislative branch, we work together, creating specialized forums, which will allow us to have a much clearer, more open position of the horizon that's coming.

Both governments have agreed to set about creating conditions for more Mexican companies to invest in Cuba.

This does not mean that you can freely commercialize, consume and legalize the consumption of marijuana.

We're on the same side. You and I are seeking the same thing: to know what happened to each and every one of your sons.

I am doing this, not just because of a legal mandate, but also as an ethical obligation ... to do with accountability, above all I reaffirm my democratic conviction to conduct myself with absolute transparency.

Today, we're taking a qualitative leap in relations between Brazil and Mexico.

All 35 states that make up the Americas are here. ... This historic gathering is thanks to the dialogue between two great friends of Mexico, Cuba and the United States, our nation supports, recognizes and is an ally of this process.

We are advancing, we are responding, we are having major apprehensions of the most wanted, most dangerous criminals, overall, we continue to work toward a Mexico of peace that we all want.
