OTTAWA, April 1 (Xinhua) -- Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday spoke with the President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum about the trading and investment relationship between the two countries.

According to an information release issued by the prime minister's office, the leaders emphasized the importance of safeguarding North American competitiveness while respecting the sovereignty of each nation.
