President Enrique Peña Nieto and U.S. President Barack Obama held a telephone conversation on Monday where they agreed to maintain constant and fluid communication with periodic exchanges on bilateral, multilateral and global issues, according to the Foreign Relations Secretariat (SRE).

A Monday SRE press release said that both presidents affirmed their relationship, which they described as strong and based on shared responsibility, trust and mutual respect, and that they reaffirmed their commitment to maintain close cooperation between their countries at all levels.

The press release said that they also touched on many of the issues that were previously discussed during Obama’s May 2013 visit to Mexico, including the strengthening of economic dialogue with a strategic focus and the adoption of a common vision on issues of education and technological innovation.

They also agreed that the North American Leaders’ Summit plays an important role in promoting the region as the most competitive and dynamic in the world.
