Afterwards, Peña Nieto and Hollande could deliver a message to media on midday and then sign a series of agreements, among them a letter of intention on energy matters.

Hollande will also meet with members of the French community in Mexico and visit the Senate, and later he will have a dinner hosted by Peña Nieto in the National Palace.
