Ebrard suggests PEMEX-PETROBRAS partnership

Lula da Silva is in Mexico, and he met with both Marcelo Ebrard, where Ebrard notably proposed a strategic partnership between the Mexican oil company PEMEX and the Mexican Petrobras:

"I would find it very interesting to make a strategic alliance with them, for  they have developed technology for deepwater exploration. I do not see why we can not make a strategic alliance with them; this would suit Mexico and other countries a lot."

Indeed!

Lula also met with Alejandro Encinas in a separate meeting, expressing support for his run for the Mexico State governorship.
