The presidents of Mexico and Guatemala agreed Friday to boost cooperation on security, infrastructure and economic development to address the causes of migration.

The pledge came during Bernardo Arevalo’s first visit to Mexico since taking office in January, for talks with his counterpart Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador near the countries’ shared border.

The leaders “agreed to strengthen cooperation in security, railway connectivity, human mobility, improvement of local communities, development of customs infrastructure and consular cooperation,” a joint statement said.

They expressed their commitment to “address the structural causes of migration” and to collaborate on projects to support communities so that people do not feel the need to leave.
