President Bush Calls President Calderon
Statement by Ambassador Antonio O. Garza
Mexico City, November 5, 2007 - “President Bush called President
Calderon this afternoon to express his deepest sympathy and
that of the American people for the suffering caused by the
flooding in Tabasco and Chiapas. President Bush expressed
his desire to help the Mexican people meet their immediate
needs and rebuild their lives and communities, initially through
the $300,000 donated by the U.S.
“The President also congratulated President Calderon for
the October 30 record seizure of over 23 tons of cocaine by
Mexican law enforcement and military personnel. President
Bush recognizes the Calderon administration’s dedication to
working together with the United States in the mutual fight
against organized crime and drug traffickers.
“Presidents Bush and Calderon reiterated their commitment
to the far-reaching, close and cooperative bilateral relationship
between neighbors and friends, who share not only co-responsibility
confronting problems, but also the desire to help one another
when our citizens are in need.” |
