Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama and Mexican President Felipe Calderon vowed Monday to work together not only on bilateral issues but also global themes like climate change, disarmament and the earthquake disaster in Haiti.
Hatoyama said the results of the U.N. climate meeting in Copenhagen in December weren't enough and the two leaders expressed their intention to make the next conference, to be hosted by Mexico this year, a success.
COP 15 didn't achieve substantial results "due to the opposition of a few countries," Hatoyama said after holding talks with the visiting Calderon. "With such reflection, we vowed to make sure to cooperate so that we can make COP 16 a success."
