The Foreign Policy Association and the National Endowment for Democracy host a New York Democracy Forum lecture on “Mexico's Long Road to Democracy: The Challenges Ahead” with H.E. Vicente Fox, Former President of Mexico.

President Fox spoke candidly on Mexican immigration, his opposition to the wall being constructed by the U.S. along the U.S.-Mexico border, support for the strengthening of NAFTA and what he said was U.S. neglect of Latin America. He called on the U.S. for a renewed partnership with Mexico, Canada and the rest of the region.
