Mexico City – Mexico has proposed the creation of a high-level working group with China to discuss recent trade differences between the two countries.
The proposal follows China’s announcement of an investigation into restrictive measures imposed by Mexico, including tariffs on certain imports. Beijing argued these actions could harm its trading partners and undermine investment confidence.
On Friday, President Claudia Sheinbaum confirmed the government’s intention to hold direct talks.
A day earlier, Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard met with China’s ambassador to Mexico, Daojiang Chen. According to a statement from the Economy Ministry, Ebrard explained that the measures are based on national interest rather than external pressure or geopolitical considerations.
These differences are part of a broader international landscape of trade frictions, particularly since the tariff disputes initiated by the United States, Mexico’s main partner in the USMCA trade agreement alongside Canada.
