With an influx of undocumented immigrants entering Mexico from Central American countries, immigration was projected to be a topic for Mexico President Enrique Peña Nieto to address the United Nations General Assembly. He instead focused on the purpose of the U.N.

Peña Nieto's five-page address to the General Assembly Hall on Wednesday did not feature one mention of immigration. The closest to immigration the Mexican president said was how international economics could influence individuals to move locations.

"From the global economy -- which has yet to recover its dynamism -- to regional conflict that have ended in deaths and forced migration flows, to climate change triggering natural disasters, it is clear that the world requires a more effective multilateral action," said Peña Nieto, which he addressed in Spanish.

Aside from mentioning the "forced migration flows" due to economic reasons, Peña Nieto made no reference to the influx of immigrants. As Latin Post reported in late August, Mexican authorities deported over 13,000 unaccompanied undocumented immigrant minors.

Peña Nieto's speech focused on the positives of the U.N. He said the UN's "positive influence is present in all realms of our lives," adding the organization protects children, preserves global heritage, and promote the advancement and empowerment of women. The Mexican president recognized growing international pressures, which should be addressed in the U.N. But with increasing demands, Peña Nieto said the U.N. must "dare to change."

"In Mexico, we firmly believe that the U.N. has all the powers to be more daring and to renovate itself. Regarding institutional change, we need a Security Council that evolves and that truly represents the new world order. It is of utmost importance to reform the Security Council in order to strengthen its transparency, accountability and response capacity," said Peña Nieto.

The Mexican president recommended a Security Council without the permanent members -- China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and United States -- having veto privileges in cases concerning "grave violations of International Humanitarian Law." Peña Nieto commented on improving efforts against arms trafficking, which coincides with Mexico hosting the First Conference of the State Parties of the Arms Trade Treaty in 2015.

"In short, to be able to face the challenges of the 21st century, we need a new institutional design for the United Nations, with a renewed commitment towards peace and security, and foremost with a Development Agenda that is comprehensive and inclusive," said Peña Nieto.

The Mexican president then commented on measures taking place in his country. In correlation with Peña Nieto's statement for a "transformed" U.N., he said Mexico made a "constructive dialogue" known as the "Pact for Mexico." The agreement allows all political entities to commit to an agenda for national reforms. Improvements were also made in the country's telecommunications sector.

Unlike other U.N. speeches on Wednesday, Peña Nieto did not comment on the Islamic State militant group. He also did not speak about the drug cartel issues in Mexico.

Peña Nieto's address to the U.N. was his first speech in the General Assembly Hall, but in a meeting with New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, he hoped the U.S. Congress would pass immigration reform as a method to reduce tension between parties involved in the immigration crisis.
