The Online NewsHour asks: What did President Zedillo accomplish in his trip to the United States? What is President Clinton expected to do in Mexico?
Michael Stott responds:
President Zedillo's visit to the United States this week has been seen by local media largely as a goodwill trip to help create the "right" atmosphere ahead of President Clinton's trip to Mexico. The Clinton visit, while considered important as a gesture of interest in Mexico, is not seen by Mexican officials as likely to produce substantial results, treaties or new initiatives; they say it will more likely set the seal on the already extensive cooperation going on and recognise the special relationship between two countries which are working more and more closely together.
During his visit, President Clinton is likely to set aside some time for a meeting with ordinary Mexicans, probably in a town near Mexico City, and to talk with the leaders of the political opposition parties. Other agenda items include a meeting with businessmen and a visit to some pre-Columbian ruins near Mexico City. Diplomats say President Clinton is likely to play down any differences between the U.S. and Mexico and emphasise the positive results of cooperation and growing trade.
