Opportunity for U.S. and Mexican Business
Statement by Ambassador Antonio O. Garza
Mexico City, February 14, 2008 - “From February 26 to 28,
the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is coordinating
the U.S. and Mexico: Building Partnerships in Infrastructure
Conference. We are hosting this conference in Mexico City
to give an opportunity to American companies to find partners
in Mexico as part of President Calderon’s visionary National
Infrastructure Program, which strives to increase Mexico’s
competitiveness and create jobs and economic opportunity here
in Mexico.
“This unprecedented conference will bring U.S. and Mexican
businesses together to bid in partnership for competitive
contracts to build the infrastructure of Mexico’s future.
USTDA is bringing U.S. financial institutions, construction
and engineering firms, as well as suppliers of products and
equipment to Mexico to meet with companies and government
officials here. U.S. and Mexican participants will present
and discuss over thirty projects in the transportation, energy
and environmental infrastructure sectors that are being implemented
under the National Infrastructure Program.
“The Embassy’s Commercial Service has worked closely with
the U.S. Trade and Development Agency to develop this project-focused
conference, presenting an excellent networking opportunity
for U.S. and Mexican firms to learn more about the National
Infrastructure Program and pursue future business together.
“I look forward to joining U.S. Secretary of Commerce Carlos
M. Gutierrez and USTDA Acting Director Leocadia Zak at the
conference, and encourage interested Mexican firms to join
us at this unique business development event.”
