A new Mexico is emerging - Obama
Speaking at the Museum of
Anthropology in Mexico City, Obama said that too often the relationship
between the United States and Mexico is "trapped in old stereotypes,"
where Mexicans see America as trying to wall itself off from Mexico and
Americans see Mexico through the sensational headlines of violence in
the war on drugs.
"I have come to Mexico
because it is time to put old mindsets aside," Obama said. "It's time to
recognize new realities, including the impressive progress in today's
Mexico."
He said it is clear that
"a new Mexico is emerging," highlighted by a growing economy, a robust
democracy and new generation of youth empowered by technology.
"I see a Mexico that is taking its rightful place in the world," he said.
