HOUSTON--President-elect George Bush promised yesterday to "never neglect our friends in this hemisphere" as he met incoming Mexican President Carlos Salinas de Gortari and heralded the election victory of Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney as a triumph for free trade.
Bush and Salinas used upbeat language to describe their two-hour session at the Johnson Space Center in Texas. They gave few specifics in brief remarks afterward, but Bush aides said topics had included drugs, immigration, trade and Mexico's $102 billion international debt.
Salinas called the session "a positive, respectful and cordial dialogue which I am certain will do a great deal to improve the relations between Mexico and the United States."
Tomorrow, the President-elect plans to fly to Alabama to visit a conference of Republican governors and to Houston for a get-acquainted meeting with Mexican President-elect Carlos Salinas de Gortari, who takes office December 1.
