UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond discussed on Tuesday with his Mexican counterpart Claudia Ruiz and Finance Minister Luis Videgaray Caso ways of fostering bilateral cooperation.
This came during a meeting held between Hammond and Ruiz in Mexico.
The visit, the first by a British Foreign Secretary to Mexico in ten years, will reaffirm the close and growing relationship between the UK and Mexico.
The talks follow the successful State Visit to the UK by President Pena Nieto in March 2015.
During the talks, described as fruitful, Hammond and Ruiz have touched on strengthening bilateral cooperation in the fields of trade, financial security services and the rule of the law.
"Britain has a strong and growing relationship with Mexico across a range of shared interests, Hammond said.
Trade, security, education and tourism are just some areas in which our two countries are building links and partnerships on a daily basis, he added.
And as the 15th largest economy in the world, as well as the 11th most populous, Mexico offers significant business and investment opportunities for Britain to our mutual benefit, he asserted.
This is my first visit to Mexico as Foreign Secretary and I look forward to meeting my counterpart and other ministers to discuss ways in which we can work even more closely together," according to Hammond.
