Clinton pledge over Mexico drugs
US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mexican Foreign Minister Patricia Espinosa have vowed to "keep strengthening" cooperation in the fight against drug violence and organised crime that spills across their countries' common border.
The leaders talked about ways to battle government and police corruption and bolster anti-drug operations given ever-increasing border violence, according to a statement from Mexico's United Nations delegation.
They also discussed the Merida Initiative, a three-year US programme to train and equip Mexican and Central American authorities facing ruthless cartels that move drugs through the region and into the US.
Ms Espinosa and Ms Clinton met on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
