Mexico seeks economic support in Europe
The first few days of newly inaugurated Latin American governments in recent months could hardly be more different. While the leftist presidents of Nicaragua and Ecuador - led by Venezuela - turned away from the United States and actually courted Iran, Mexican President Felipe Calderon is seeking the solidarity of Europe. Calderon is already very close to the US, having visited there before his December inauguration. His January 25-30 visit to Europe includes Germany, the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Britain and Spain.
Mexico has had a free trade agreement with the EU since 2000, and the trip represents Calderon's first journey outside of Latin America as president, where he has already paid official calls on El Salvador and Nicaragua.
