一九九二年八月,美、加、墨三国就建立北美自由贸易区达成协议。这对美国重新调整与拉美的经贸关系具有重要战略意义;对墨西哥,既提供了加快经济发展的机会,又带来了外债增加等的挑战;对其他拉美国家也将产生很大的影响。 In August 1992, the United States, Canada and Mexico reached an agreement on establishing a North American free trade area. This has important strategic significance for the United States to readjust its economic and trade relations with Latin America. For Mexico, it not only provides the opportunity for accelerating economic development but also brings about the challenge of increasing foreign debts. It will also have a great impact on other Latin American countries.
