EL SALVADOR: On Friday, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador suggested the United States should share the burden of addressing increased immigration from Central America.
During his visit to El Salvador, Lopez Obrador emphasised the necessity for a collaborative approach to the immigration challenge.
Lopez Obrador and Nayib Bukele, his Salvadoran counterpart, agreed to execute the Mexican development initiatives "Sowing Life" and "Youth Building the Future" in El Salvador, with the goal of creating jobs and reducing labour outflow.
"We hope that the US government and Congress will pass over the USD 4 billion that President Biden has offered to invest in these initiatives so that they can be expanded in the three Central American nations," Lopez Obrador added, referring to Honduras, El Salvador, and Guatemala.
Lopez Obrador's working visit to Central America and the Caribbean area, which began on Thursday in Guatemala, is now in El Salvador. Later, he will travel to Honduras, Belize, and Cuba.
