MERIDA, Mexico, Muharram 25, 1437, November 07, 2015, SPA -- The presidents of Mexico and Cuba stressed mutual interests and admiration on Friday, announcing new accords and closer political ties after more than a decade of chilly relations, AP reported. Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto announced agreements to fight human trafficking and exchanges in tourism, education and business designed to increase Mexican investment in Cuba, as well as "a dialogue at the highest political levels." Most important, he added, is re-establishing the "affection, respect and admiration that both countries historically have had for each other." Pena Nieto greeted Cuba's Raul Castro at the Yucatan state government palace in Merida, where they held private discussions. --SPA 00:55 LOCAL TIME 21:55 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
