From migration to self-sufficiency, the keys to the Summit of Leaders of America

From migration to self-sufficiency, the keys to the Summit of Leaders of America

Committee to substitute imports: The three countries agreed to create a Committee with 12 specialists that will be dedicated to planning and import substitution in North America.

On behalf of Mexico, Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Foreign Relations; Rogelio Ramírez de la O, Secretary of Finance and Public Credit; Raquel Buenrostro Sánchez, Secretary of Economy, and Alfonso Romo Garza, businessman.

Safe and orderly migration. The three countries promised to order migratory flows, but also provide security to those who decide to leave their countries of origin.

A virtual platform will be implemented to simplify the access of migrants to legal channels, to prevent them from falling into the hands of human traffickers.

They pledged to strengthen asylum processes to ensure help and protection is received.

In particular, Mexico offered to design a space of employment, assistance and protection services for refugees, in collaboration with international organizations. In this space, services and alternatives for protection, documentation and labor mobility will be offered, in coordination with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Mexican Commission for Aid to Refugees (Comar) and the National Employment Service (SNE) of the Ministry of Labor and Social Welfare.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador also asked his counterpart Joe Biden to intercede with the United States Congress to approve the reform that regularizes the more than 11 million Mexicans who live and work in that country.

Fight against fentanyl trafficking. Mexico has pledged to combat trafficking in fentanyl, a substance that is killing more than 100,000 Americans a year through overdoses.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador told his peers that he will continue the battle, through the use of the Armed Forces.

“We are working on it in an organized way, it led us to all ports and customs being controlled by the Armed Forces, because fentanyl and other chemicals come from Asia and these substances are processed in laboratories. We are preventing the entry of these chemicals and destroying laboratories,” said the federal president.

Traffic of weapons. One of the priorities on the Mexican agenda also concluded in an agreement: illegal arms trafficking. The three countries pledged to combat arms and drug trafficking, as well as human trafficking. However, it was not detailed how or with what resources the illegal entry of weapons that contributes to 70% of intentional homicides will be dealt with.
