Guadalajara -
Mexico City was popular with several prominent Americans this week, politicians and businessmen alike.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, a Republican hopeful for 2016, stopped by to collect resume material which will bolster his rather anemic CV on international affairs, and of course his credibility as a candidate.
Yesterday Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg chatted with president Peña Nieto about expanding internet access in the country. Facebook is hugely popular with young Mexicans, and Zuckerberg wants to add to those 409 million user accounts.
Hillary was also in town . . . for obvious reasons. With just over 24 months to go until the presidential election north of the border, she easily leads the pack of Democratic contenders - although she told a gathering of students yesterday that she has not yet made up her mind.
Clinton was full of praise for Mexico's reform president, saying that his legislative agenda would have "a great impact throughout North America."
"In recent years we have seen a real change in this country, with an economy that is beginning to bring prosperity," said Clinton. "Whether the process is carried to completion depends on every Mexican, especially young people."
All music to Enrique Peña Nieto's ears, as he prepares for the next challenge.
