U.S. President Joe Biden told his Mexican counterpart Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador that Mexico's success was crucial to the hemisphere and that he would view the U.S. southern neighbor as an equal.

The two leaders discussed immigration, COVID-19 and commercial issues. It was Biden's second bilateral meeting with a foreign leader since becoming president on January 20. The first was with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
