Government's narrative on progress

The government continues to actively engage Mexico and the United States in order to advance issues in the common interest. On November 30, 2018, the government signed the Canada-US-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA) which includes a new chapter that will establish a committee on competitiveness dedicated to undertaking trilateral cooperative activities to advance North American competitiveness. In addition to trade, North American cooperation continues in key areas such as energy, security, and defence. On February 2, 2018, a North American Foreign Ministers Meeting took place in Mexico City, where the three foreign ministers discussed a range of topics including North American regional competitiveness that touched on the original NAFTA, energy cooperation, and women’s entrepreneurship.
