Ulises Granados, professor at the Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico, said the new Mexican government attaches greater importance to the country's relations with China.
The two countries have huge potential for mutual investment, as the Mexican government vowed repeatedly to improve infrastructure to drive the country's overall development, he said.
Teofilo Torres Corzo, head of the Mexican Senate's Foreign Affairs Committee for the Asia-Pacific, said Mexico should strengthen cooperation with China, one of the world's most dynamic economies.
Corzo expected China to have a bigger role on the international stage and greater presence in international politics in the years to come and it "should be an opportunity for Mexico, and Mexicans are beginning to understand that we can benefit better from the second largest economy in the world."
He said China represents a potential market with a growing middle class and increasing demand for new products in which Mexico has export interest.
"The mutually beneficial China-Mexico relationship will become closer with joint efforts of the two governments," Corzo said.
