Internacional & Alternative Energy -
Veracruz 2007"
September
12-14, 2007
|
|
This year's conference, "Transporte
International & Alternative Energy
Veracruz 2007" is designed to
address the issues facing international
trade, manufacturing, transportation and
all related business. We will bring
together business leaders and key
bi-national government leaders to dialog
and explore a broad range of ways to
further integrate our economies through
trade. It is our intent to focus on
current issues that affect
transportation, energy, manufacturing,
services, trade facilitation, regulatory
structure and emerging barriers for the
express purpose of continuing to address
the most important issues and
information needed for our countries to
have a competitive edge in the global
market.
This important public-private sector
event will enhance the capacity of our
two countries to enhance their joint
competitiveness and participation in the
global trade system. The conference will
promote transportation, energy and trade
capacity building, security and sector
development, both of which are
consistent with NAFTA, the
Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP),
and the latest Mexico's
National Infrastructure Program
2007-2012. |
