AFP, Mexico City :
Negotiators overhauling the North American Free Trade Agreement said Tuesday they would have “results” by the end of the month, but left some of the stickiest issues hanging as they wrapped up their latest talks.
After five days of negotiations in Mexico City-their second round- the United States, Mexico and Canada still had no concrete details to report on their revamp of the 1994 trade deal.
But they promised progress by the end of the next round, scheduled for September 23 to 27 in Ottawa, Canada.
“We have instructed our chief negotiators to commit to defining the chapters that are closest to completion so we can start seeing the first results at the third round of talks,” Mexican Economy Minister Ildefonso Guajardo told a press conference.
