We focus on six key areas shaping bilateral relations:
  • USMCA & Economic Cooperation – Trade, investment, and regional economic integration.  
    Migration & Border Issues – Policy, security, and human mobility.  
    Energy & Environment – Sustainability, energy security, and cross-border collaboration.  
    Security & Crime – Public safety, organized crime, and law enforcement cooperation.

    Democracy & Governance – Political trends, rule of law, and institutional integrity.
