In 2012 the Institute brought together analysts, industry leaders and policy makers to discuss the guiding principles for a successful reform process, and published a document “A New Beginning for Mexican Oil” which set the tone for the current debate. The document helped to frame the discussion over energy reform and was mentioned in the energy reform legislation that was approved by the Congress in December last year”. Wood added “Our goal at the Mexico Institute is to provide pertinent, unbiased information to decision makers and industry leaders when they need it most. In the process, we help foster a stronger U.S.-Mexico bilateral relationship.” END### The Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars is the national, living memorial honoring President Woodrow Wilson.
