City builds on business ties with Mexico
Sean Mattson of the San Antonio Express News reports that a delegation led by Mayor White signed an agreement yesterday to strengthen ties with the Mexican state of Nuevo León:
Houston and the Mexican border state of Nuevo León agreed to make formal and strengthen business ties under an agreement signed Friday by Houston Mayor Bill White and Nuevo León Gov. Natividad González Parás.
Houston and Nuevo León committed to designating representatives who will design programs to create opportunities in fields including energy, the environment, information technologies, logistics and culture, according to a draft of the agreement.
A delegation of about two dozen Houston city officials and members of the Greater Houston Partnership were part of the one-day trade mission. It included a visit to the Universal Forum of Cultures, an international fair, and a boat ride along the Paseo Santa Lucia, a downtown canal similar to San Antonio's River Walk.
It sounds like a good long-weekend junket, if nothing else. The golfing weather is probably better than Houston's today.
