Enrique Peña Nieto was in Mazatlán yesterday to close the XXI Congress of Mexican Foreign Trade.
México’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto, was in Mazatlán yesterday to close the XXI Congress of the Mexican Foreign Trade being held at the city’s convention Center.
Although the modernization of Mazatlán’s port was not included in Nieto’s second State of the Union address earlier in the week, while in the city the president said the government will invest 1.3 billion pesos ($100 million) to modernize Mazatlán’s port and infrastructure in order to compliment the new Mazatlán-Durango highway and consolidate México’s Northern Economic Corridor, that stretch of land extending from Sinaloa to Texas and running through the states of Durango, Chihuahua, Zacatecas, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, and Tamaulipas.
Governor Mario López Valdez attending the event said the visit of the president to the city gives hope and confidence to Sinaloa, because it helps revitalize and raises expectations of progress for the state.
The governor noted that the modernization of the port of Mazatlán, the gateway to the Northern Economic Corridor, will put the state of Sinaloa between two economic blocs, namely East Asia and the United States.
