The U.S. and #Mexico are announcing our intent to take a holistic & coordinated approach to stem illegal migration. Today we announced our commitment to promote a safer & more prosperous Central America and southern Mexico by enhancing security, governance, & economic prosperity.
The U.S. is committing to increase the project pipeline for @opicgov if commercially viable projects are identified in Southern Mexico & Northern Triangle. We will also review available financing mechanisms & tools, incl. private sector, multilateral banks, & regional partners.
In Jan. 2019, we are forming a joint task force and will hold a cabinet-level meeting to align our strategies. We will co-host a private sector business summit in early 2019 as well. We applaud #Mexico’s announcement of an unprecedented development program for the region.
