In the meeting, Administrator Green expressed his appreciation for Ambassador García-López's commitment to U.S.-Mexican cooperation. The two also discussed how to deepen the partnership between USAID and AMEXCID, particularly related to work the United States and Mexico are doing together in the Northern Triangle of Central America.

Administrator Green and Ambassador García-López will co-lead the closing session of Prosperity Day at today's Second Conference on Security and Prosperity in Central America. At the Conference, Administrator Green will encourage enterprise-led development and partnership to address the drivers of illegal immigration, including insecurity and violence, lack of economic opportunity, food security, corruption, and governance challenges.
