The World Will Always Remember September 11
Speaking on behalf of the Mexican people, President Fox expressed his most
profound condolences to the families of those who died on September 11th in
the United States and reiterated Mexico's full commitment to the fight
against terrorism.
"Over the past three months, we have been able to grasp the full impact that
this terrorist act has had, not only the deaths of six thousand innocent
people, not only the destruction of these buildings in the United States,"
President Fox said. "We are now experiencing the brutal impact in terms of
economic growth, in terms of the unemployment of millions of people, many of
them heads of families worldwide and also the impact of increased poverty".
"Because of this, we have been a part of the efforts to fight terrorism and
today express our most profound condolences in the name of all Mexicans".
At the end of his remarks, broadcast live throughout Mexico, President Fox
asked all of those present to observe a moment of silence. This morning's
ceremony took place at Los Pinos, the President's Official Residence in
Mexico City.
