Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Monday that as part of a comprehensive dialogue with the new Trump administration, he will ask that any expulsion of Mexican migrants from the United States take place in an orderly, coordinated manner.

"We will raise all the issues," he said during an official event at Los Pinos, the presidential residence.

Besides trade, migration and the border, topics of discussion will include "terrorist threats and the illegal traffic in drugs, guns and cash," Peña Nieto said.

Mexico's secretaries of foreign relations, Luis Videgaray, and economy, Ildefonso Guajardo, will travel to Washington this week for talks with President Donald Trump's administration.

Peña Nieto is due to visit the U.S. capital Jan. 31 for a meeting with Trump, who launched his presidential campaign in 2015 with a speech blasting Mexican immigrants as criminals and "rapists."

The new president vows to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border and has spoken of deporting millions of undocumented immigrants.
