Mexico President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said he spoke with Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg today about fulfilling a commitment to broaden internet access, and in a Twitter post, said there’s no need to make international visits given modern technology.

“There’s no need to travel abroad frequently, now we can communicate through video conference,” Lopez Obrador said.
