The White House revealed this Thursday that it had had conversations with the Government of Mexico about the possibility that the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obradorwill not attend the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation Forum (APEC), which will be held in November in San Francisco.
In a press conference, White House National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan indicated that there had been “diplomatic talks” with Mexico in which the possibility of López Obrador not attending the meeting had been mentioned, something he himself officially announced this Thursday.
SullivanHowever, he refused to take a public position on the failure to allow those diplomatic talks to continue.
López Obrador announced in his morning press conference that he will not go to APEC due to the participation of the Peruvian Government of Dina Boluarte, which he considers “spurious” after the dismissal last December of the then president Pedro Castillo.
To compensate, Lopez Obrador proposed to Biden a visit to Mexico or a subsequent meeting in Washington.
APEC, created in 1989 to promote economic cooperation of countries around the Pacific Ocean, is confirmed by 21 members, including great powers such as the United States, Russia and China. In addition, three Latin American countries are integrated into this forum: Chile, Mexico and Peru.
