Mexico and big powers in oil talks

The United States, the European Union, Canada and six European nations have held joint talks on concerns over Mexico's energy policy, as President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador pushes for a bigger role for the state in the sector.

The unusually broad diplomatic encounter is a measure of how the leftist Lopez Obrador's break with the energy policy of the previous government is worrying economies that have traditionally been some of Mexico's biggest foreign investors, Reuters reports.
