Mexico"The United States' engagement in the Americas is strategic and forward thinking," said U.S. Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Wendy Sherman,  "Our policies in the region are building on a huge, historically significant opportunity: to make the western hemisphere a strong platform for shared economic growth and security – regionally and globally – that will advance our people's interest for generations."
On a recent visit to Colombia, Under Secretary Sherman discussed that country's dynamic economy, poised to become perhaps South America's second largest economy after Brazil.  The review process for implementing the Colombia Free Trade Agreement is advancing well and is already having a positive effect on the business climate of this country.
Colombia is also taking on a greater role in international peace and security.  Over the last three years, Colombia has trained more than 11,000 police officers from 21 countries in Latin America, Africa, and Afghanistan.  
On her visit to Mexico, Under Secretary Sherman discussed the deepening economic relationship between Mexico and the United States.  She said the border between the two countries must become more efficient in facilitating trade and legitimate flows of people and goods, lowering the costs for businesses and consumers, enhancing the health and safety of our citizens, and protecting the environment.
