CANCUN — The US, Canada and Mexico have formed a competitiveness council designed to integrate the three country’s economies beyond the 1994 free-trade pact, says Mexican President Vicente Fox.

Groups of 10 government officials and business executives from each country would meet in Canada in June to discuss agriculture, vehicles, energy, corporate governance and improving border crossings, Jose Luis Barraza, president of Mexico’s Business Council, the country’s largest trade group, said on Friday.

Fox said the three North American Free-Trade Agreement countries needed to integrate more “to be able to face the competition from the world’s other blocks”.

“We’ve decided to move forward and increase our relationship,” Fox said at a news conference that ended two days of meetings in Cancun with President George Bush and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
