“Canada is proud of its close links with Mexico, and we will continue to collaborate on issues that matter to citizens from one end of North America to the other.”

“We are sure that your government will write a new page in the history of Latin American dignity and sovereignty,” Bolivian President Evo Morales tweeted.
“We want an independent Latin America,” he said in a follow-up tweet. “The victory of our brother Lopez Obrador pledges the liberation of our nations to build bridges of integration instead of walls of discrimination.”
