For the Mexican people, for the Mexican government, the very good relationship with the United States of America is, of course, essential.
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.
There are a great number of Mexicans who live every day worried about the lack of employment and opportunities. Those conditions also damage the image of Mexico abroad, and that is the Mexico that must be transformed.
Today, our planet demands a more effective, efficient, transparent and representative United Nations; a UN where all societies of the world have greater participation. The UN must then, dare to change in order to improve. In Mexico, we firmly believe that the UN has all the powers to be more daring and to renovate itself.
We`re not in agreement on all topics. I had a conversation with Mr. [Donald] Trump that was open and constructive.
Education reform has as its main purpose to make sure that the education delivered is of quality.
Behind every crime is a story of sadness.
Mexico urgently needs a series of structural reforms that will detonate its true economic potential for once and generate more public welfare.
There has maybe been a poor - a misunderstanding or statements that have maybe hurt, unfortunately. The Mexicans have felt offended by what has been said [by Donald Trump]. But I am certain that his genuine interest is in building a relationship that will provide our mutual societies improved wellbeing.
In the Mexico we want, there is no room for corruption, for cover-ups, and least of all for impunity.
Important reserves of natural resources, like petroleum and precious metals, are the bulwarks for laying the foundations for the future.
We must fight inequality and poverty if we want to re-establish peace and security. Seven million Mexicans live in extreme poverty, which is why I have launched a crusade against hunger. We also have to improve our educational system and stimulate economic growth.
I'm not driving to be a popular president.
In a democratic society, we politicians have to accept criticism, especially when it is founded.
