Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto have reaffirmed their commitment to bilateral cooperation and promotion of investment in the areas of oil, shale gas, infrastructure-building and medical insurance.
They also agreed to coordinate efforts toward an early conclusion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade negotiations involving the two countries and 10 other Pacific Rim nations, Abe said during a joint news conference after their talks in Mexico City on Friday.
On the first leg of his five-nation tour of Latin America to promote infrastructure exports and strengthen resources and energy development ties, Abe secured cooperation for a stable supply of resources from a country rich in oil and shale gas.
