Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Friday his administration would maintain its neutral stance on the Ukraine-Russia conflict after his upcoming meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden.

Lopez Obrador was asked a series of questions at a news conference about how his visit next week to Washington could affect Mexico's position on the conflict. He said Mexico would stay neutral, and that he hoped there would be a ceasefire.
