MEXICO CITY， Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Mexico should expand economic ties with China as a counterbalance to its heavy reliance on the United States， according to a leading academic.


Attracting more investment from China would both help spur development in Mexico and reduce the dependence on its northern neighbor， said Cutberto Hernandez， a specialist in Asian and African affairs at the Faculty of Law of La Salle University in Mexico City.


""From my point of view， there needs to be a change in outlook， to try and take advantage of the economic and investment opportunity China offers，"" Hernandez told Xinhua in an interview.


""Unfortunately， that has not happened as it should have， due to the economic and political interests established with the United States， a market on which there is a strong dependency，"" he added.


Mexico would benefit from a more balanced situation and from the potential for economic expansion with China， he said.


""New expanded ties"" between the two countries would lead to a formula for cooperation that would be of mutual benefit， said Hernandez.


In Latin America， Argentina and Brazil are reaping the benefits of closer ties with the Asian giant， said the academic， adding both countries today ""are essential to China's food supply and food development.""


Mexico and China have already laid the groundwork for increased cooperation， the expert noted.


Since 2013， the two have put in place mechanisms to promote bilateral and permanent dialogue on key economic issues， including a high-level bilateral work group (GAN) that meets annually to oversee trade promotion， and cooperation in industry and mining. A similar group focuses exclusively on investment (GANI).


On the sidelines of the recent Group of 20 (G20) summit held in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou， the presidents of Mexico and China， Enrique Pena Nieto and Xi Jinping met over expanding their comprehensive strategic partnership.


Hernandez believes the two countries should draw up a road map for cooperation over the coming years.


In the meantime， a multimillion-dollar mutual fund for investment in different projects， which the two heads of state referred to at their meeting， ""presents a good opportunity"" for Mexico， said the academic.


Through the fund， China can participate in the Special Economic Zones Mexico plans to create， especially in the southern parts of the country， he said.


More than 70 Chinese companies operate in Mexico， in such sectors as telecommunications and fossil fuels， and more recently in the areas of renewable energy and commercial banking.

NAIROBI [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/federico-bernardeschi-juventus-fc-jersey/]Federico Bernardeschi Juventus Jersey[/url] , Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta on Friday urged nationals to come out in large numbers and vote peacefully on Aug. 8, assuring that adequate steps have been put in place to ensure their safety.


Kenyatta [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/fabrizio-caligara-juventus-fc-jersey/]Fabrizio Caligara Juventus Jersey[/url] , when interviewed by radio journalists in Nairobi, called on voters to ensure they exercise their democratic right by choosing their leaders [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/emre-can-juventus-fc-jersey/]Emre Can Juventus Jersey[/url] , stressing the 2017 election will be determined by the turnout.


"We urge Kenyans to continue maintaining peace and co-exist peacefully. They should not fight because of politics," Kenyatta said [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/douglas-costa-juventus-fc-jersey/]Douglas Costa Juventus Jersey[/url] , according to a statement released by his office.


The elections are planned for the President, members of the Senate [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/daniele-rugani-juventus-fc-jersey/]Daniele Rugani Juventus Jersey[/url] , Parliament, governors for 47 county governments [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/cristiano-ronaldo-juventus-fc-jersey/]Cristiano Ronaldo Juventus Jersey[/url] , members of the regional Parliaments and representatives of youth and women.


President Kenyatta expressed confidence that Kenyans will vote for Jubilee based on its outstanding development track record.


Next week's elections come amid far-reaching institutional reforms that have seen new officers take oath of office after an elaborate appointing procedure.


Observers say the 2007 and 2008 post election violence experience was a reminder of the significance of building strong institutions of governance.


Kenyatta said once given a second term, Jubilee will be able to complete the projects it has initiated that are at different stages of completion as well as start new ones that will continue to improve the livelihoods of citizens.


He pointed out that his administration's track record speaks for itself [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/claudio-marchisio-juventus-fc-jersey/]Claudio Marchisio Juventus Jersey[/url] , saying the opposition's efforts to undermine progress have failed.


"We have laid the foundations for progress. We are seeking a second to complete the work we have started for the benefit of all Kenyans," Kenyatta said.


The Kenyan leader said Jubilee has also achieved milestones in its effort to unite Kenyans and spread development across the country in an all-inclusive way.


He said in the last four-and-a-half years [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/carlo-pinsoglio-juventus-fc-jersey/]Carlo Pinsoglio Juventus Jersey[/url] , Jubilee has made a lot of progress in providing solutions to challenges facing Kenyans ranging from the land question where over 3.5 million title deeds have been issued to the creation of over 2.5 million quality jobs for the youth.


"We have now put in place an action plan that we intend to implement in our second term to create 6.5 million quality jobs for Kenyans in the next five years. That is why it is important for Kenyans to vote for Jubilee," Kenyatta said.


On previous marginalized regions [url=http://www.juventusteampro.com/blank-juventus-fc-jersey/]Blank Juventus Jersey[/url] , President Kenyatta said his government has made strides in opening up the areas that lagged behind in development by stepping up investment in key projects, offering services that are uplifting the lives of people in those regions.
