MEXICO CITY - Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto said that if allegations were proven that the United States had spied on its southern neighbor, it would be "totally unacceptable."

During a visit to northern Mexico on Wednesday, Pena Nieto was asked for his views on a media report that the U.S. National Security Agency had spied on countries including Mexico.

"We have asked quite clearly, via the foreign ministry ... for an explanation from the government ... about possible spying," he told reporters in the border state of Chihuahua.

"And we want to know if this is the case, and if it so, it would obviously be totally unacceptable," he added, noting that relations with Washington remained cordial.
