China and Mexico are trusted friends and partners for mutual development, with imports from China key to boosting Mexico's manufacturing and trade while delivering tangible benefits to local people, Mao Ning, a spokesperson for China's Foreign Ministry, said on Tuesday. 

Mao made the remarks at a press conference, responding to a media question regarding Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum's remarks that claims of Chinese products enter the US and Canada through Mexico are incorrect. Sheinbaum said Mexico will demonstrate to the US and Canadian governments that Mexico is not a re-export route for Chinese products and Chinese products enter the North American market through multiple routes. 

Mao stressed that China's trade cooperation with all countries is guided by international rules and market principles, adding that politicizing economic and trade issues serves no one's interests. 

Mao emphasized that fostering a stable and healthy economic and trade relationship between China and Mexico serves the shared goals and long-term interests of both nations. 

China is committed to working with Mexico to maintain strong bilateral trade ties, supporting the development of both nations, according to Mao.
