Mexican President-Elect Enrique Pena Nieto (right) chats with David Lopez, his communications director while walking through Statuary Hall in the U.S. Capitol, after delivering brief remarks on November 27, 2012 in Washington, D.C. He appeared earlier with House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Pena Nieto's July election victory marked the return to power of the former ruling Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) after a 12-year absence. Pena Nieto would also visit the White House and meet with President Barack Obama, just a few days before taking office on December 1. (Photo by Jeff Malet)
