墨西哥是拉美经济发达的大国之一,也是与中国建交较早的拉美国家。中墨建交以来,两国经济关系虽有较快发展,但无论从双边经贸合作的水平上还是从双边合作的潜力、前景上看,目前的状况都是远远不够的。由于墨西哥拥有政治、经济、地理位置等方面的优越条件,它在促进中国经济进一步向南美市场开放,同时向美国、加拿大市场幅射均发挥着不可替代的作用。因此,如何发展同墨西哥的经贸关系,并以此为基地拓展南北美洲的广阔市场是当前中国对外经济中一大课题。 Mexico is one of the major developed economies in Latin America and Latin America and has also established diplomatic ties with China earlier. Although the economic relations between the two countries have enjoyed rapid development since the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Mexico, the current situation is far from enough in terms of the level of bilateral economic and trade cooperation, the potential of bilateral cooperation and prospects. Because of its political, economic and geographical advantages, Mexico has played an irreplaceable role in promoting the further opening up of the Chinese economy to the South American market and in the meantime of its radiation to the United States and Canada. Therefore, how to develop economic and trade relations with Mexico and use it as a base for expanding the vast market in North and South America is now a major issue for China’s foreign economy.
