  • Story Text: Spain's King Felipe voiced his support for the process of reforms undertaken by Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Tuesday (June 30) before Mexico's Senate.
    Felipe, accompanied by Queen Letizia, spoke at the Senate as part of a political act during his state visit to Mexico.
    Reiterating the strong political, economic and cultural ties between both countries, Felipe praised a 2012 pact with the country's leading political parties to increase competition in the telecommunications sector and overhaul the education system.
    "From Spain we are following with a lot of interest that drive and that is why I propose to offer here our support and the best disposition to Mexico in this new stage. These reforms without doubt opens new routes to strengthen and widen flows of investment and collaboration in diverse fields between our two countries," Felipe said.
    Felipe and Letizia signed the Book of Distinguished Visitors, after attending a business forum, together with Pena Nieto, intended to explore new avenues of economic cooperation earlier in the day.
    The agenda of the second day of the state visit continued with a lunch with a select group of representatives of Mexican society.
    Subsequently, the royals will attend the signing of the implementation of the International Service Assessment of the Spanish Language (Siele) and will close the day with a meeting with the Spanish community in Mexico.
    The state visit ends on Wednesday (July 1).
