The trade mission is cosponsored by the SBA, U.S. Department of Commerce and the Government of Mexico, under the leadership of President Vicente Fox.
Organizers describe the trade mission as full of enormous opportunities for U.S. companies.
It will feature high-level meetings with Mexican and U.S. government officials, industry experts and business executives, as well as presentations on doing business in Mexico and financing imports and exports. This trade mission exemplifies the Bush Administration's emphasis on trade with Mexico. The doors are open to a closer partnership with the United States. Mexico is an excellent gateway for first-time U.S. exporters considering expansion to Latin American markets. Mexico's domestic production is highly dependent on imported components, raw materials and capital goods, and has surpassed Japan as the second most important trading partner of the United States, trailing only Canada.
