MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico will cooperate with the incoming administration of Guatemalan President-elect Bernardo Arevalo, Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said on Wednesday, after a fraught transition process that has drawn international criticism.

"We will help Guatemala, and it will be reciprocal," Lopez Obrador said in a regular morning press conference, adding there was no basis for disagreements on the election.
