"Chiapas: Present and Future"
US-MEXICO EXECUTIVE FORUM featuring Lic. Emilio Rabasa Gamboa, Coordinador, Secretaria De Gobernacion, Coordinacion para el Diaglogo y la Negociacion en Chiapas
Significant information is disseminated daily via the press and Internet regarding the living conditions in Chiapas. Much of this information is highly inaccurate! Recently the United States-Mexico Chamber of Commerce led an investment trade mission of fifty (50) business people to Tuxtla Gutierrez and San Cristobal de las Casas, Chiapas to get a first hand view of the business/social conditions of Chiapas. Our group was extremely impressed with our visit and the opportunities viewed. Chiapas is a Mexican state ready to enjoy the fruits of economic development. Chiapas is ready for the world to know the true story behind the exaggerated headlines. Join us as Mexico’s lead coordinator in the Chiapas dialogue discusses the other side of the story!
