Mexican President Vicente Fox has named Labor Secretary Carlos Abascal as his new interior secretary as the country heads toward presidential elections next year.

The president announced the appointment during a televised message Thursday. He urged Mr. Abascal, 55, to always keep open the doors of dialogue and respectful debate.
