Mid shot of President Clinton and President Zedillo at meeting of the Organisation of  American States\u003cbr/\u003eEnglish/Nat\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Clinton is on his way to Mexico for a two-day visit and talks with Mexican  President Ernesto Zedillo. \u003cbr/\u003eHe stops in Mexico on his way to a Caribbean summit later in the week with leaders of  the region. \u003cbr/\u003eThe trip comes at a critical time for U-S-Mexican relations.\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Clinton was sounding an upbeat tone as he left Washington on Monday for  Mexico, his first stop on a Latin American tour.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd he signalled what is at stake for the U-S with its southern neighbour. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"It is fitting that this trip should begin in Mexico.  We share one of the broadest and  deepest relations of any two nations on earth.  Beyond the 2-thousand mile border that  joins us, beyond the strong bonds of trade that benefit both our people, we must co- operate as never before to find common solutions to common problems.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: United States President Bill Clinton\u003cbr/\u003eNo issue is of more concern to the Clinton Administration than the war on drugs just  across that border in Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eMexican President Zedillo has promised renewed efforts to halt the flow of cocaine and  other drugs into the U-S. \u003cbr/\u003eBut cooperation between the U-S and Mexico on drug trafficking has been strained at  best for some time. \u003cbr/\u003eScandal and corruption at the highest levels of Mexico's anti-drug authority has brought  criticism from U-S officials and lawmakers, threatening to halt economic aid to Mexico.\u003cbr/\u003eAnalysts say U-S pressure on Zedillo to clean up anti-drug efforts could backfire.  \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003eIt's not to their advantage if they want to improve cooperation with Mexico on this issue.   Mexico has been very offended over harsh criticism in the U-S Congress and the U-S  Senate in particular, and for the U-S to come down and bully the Mexicans at this point  would further  endanger the cooperation that exists there.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Eric Olson, Washington Office on Latin America\u003cbr/\u003eThe White House is also pushing ahead on the North American Free Trade Agreement  with Mexico. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Clinton Administration credits NAFTA with boosting the 130 billion dollars in trade  last year between the two nations. \u003cbr/\u003eBut NAFTA critics say the trade deal has had little effect on Mexico's crippled  economy.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Mexico has experienced one of its worst crises in 50 years and more people are  unemployed, real wages are below 1980 levels, and so the population itself is not  seeing any of the so-called good results.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Eric Olson, Washington Office on Latin America\u003cbr/\u003eCritics say NAFTA is an unfair trade plan doomed to failure, because, they say,  Mexico's political system is corrupt.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"Cannot have free trade between our modest democracy and a dictatorial oligarchic  corrupt Mexican regime if only because that regime could use the destruction of law  and justice against workers, environment, consumers and due process as unfair  methods of competition to attract industry south.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Ralph Nader, Consumer advocate\u003cbr/\u003eIt is that political system, dominated by one political party, the party of Ernesto Zedillo,  that analysts say stands between real reform in Mexico and a major crisis for the  nation.\u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"I think there's high expectations on the part of the opposition that this may be the  moment to break the ruling party's hold on power, grip on power for 70 years, and  people feel like this may be one of the last opportunities to try to resolve Mexico's  problems peacefully.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPER CAPTION: Eric Olson, Washington Office on Latin America\u003cbr/\u003eFor now, Bill Clinton is standing with Ernesto Zedillo, as the U-S looks to Mexico as the  key political and economic bridge to Latin America.\u003cbr/\u003eAt stake, among other things, is U-S prestige in the region, as Presidents Clinton and  Zedillo try to put their vision for U-S -- Mexican cooperation down on paper.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read more description'
