U.S. President Barack Obama will travel to Mexico on Feb. 19 to attend the North American Leaders' Summit, the White House said Monday.

At the summit, Obama will meet with Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, White House spokesman Jay Carney said at a regular press briefing.

Obama is looking forward to discussing with the leaders a range of issues important to all North Americans, including economic competitiveness, entrepreneurship, trade and investment, as well as citizen security, Carney said.

The last summit was held in Washington D.C., the United States, in April 2012.
