A binational delegation made up of business leaders and authorities from the Cali-Baja region will present the region's issues to U.S. authorities in Washington, according to Roberto Vega Solís, president of the Confederation of Employers of the Mexican Republic (Coparmex) in Tijuana.
He mentioned that the agenda will begin this Friday and will include a meeting with U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to discuss border crossings.
They will also address health issues to encourage medical tourism in the region, as well as issues related to binational infrastructure and security, and immigration matters.
Vega Solís added that they will hold meetings to discuss the increase in tariffs on Mexican export products and will seek to learn what incentives Baja California companies can obtain to increase their competitiveness. U.S. Consul General in Tijuana, Christopher Teal, added that he will accompany the San Diego Chambers of Commerce on a trip to Washington this weekend, where they will hold meetings with the Departments of State, Commerce, and Transportation to discuss various matters.
