President Enrique Pena Nieto said Friday he was confident that Mexico would stay good neighbors with the United States despite uncertainty in bilateral trade.

He spoke a day after the US administration softened its stance on the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) it planned to scrap. On Thursday, it notified the US Congress of its intent to renegotiate the pact with Mexico and Canada.

"Through dialogue and negotiations Mexico will seek an opportunity to update this important trilateral instrument and I am convinced its modernization will do us good," Nieto said.
