WOLF BLITZER, HOST:  What's the biggest problem in U.S.-Mexican relations right now?

ENRIQUE PENA NIETO, PRESIDENT-ELECT, MEXICO:  To build a greater trust in our relationship.  I think this first encounter with Mr. Obama, this first meeting, the main meeting - purpose will be to get to know each other, because I'm convinced that a good relationship between the countries has to go through the people who head said governments.  They will have a good understanding.

And my purpose, then, is to create a relationship, to build a relationship based on trust, a relationship that would be positive, constructive, that would allow us to understand the world affairs and the world matters that both peoples have to face.  And based on this agreement, we'll reach a relationship of brotherhood.
