The meeting was scheduled on April 5, when the heads of state of the eleven nations had a first exchange remotely – at the initiative of the López Obrador government – to find joint solutions to face price pressures and the scarcity of products, as well as and to strengthen regional integration and trade.
Another of the points that was expected to be discussed in Cancun was the preparation of a joint statement in search of peace in the face of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
