The American Society of Mexico (AmSoc) and the Confederation of Industrial Chambers of the United Mexican States (CONCAMIN) reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening collaboration with Mexico’s industrial sector during CONCAMIN’s 107th anniversary celebration, highlighting efforts to promote competitiveness, investment and economic development.
The organizations said the renewed collaboration comes as Mexico, the United States and Canada prepare for the scheduled review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) and as the bilateral relationship continues to address evolving economic and security issues.
Representatives from both organizations said maintaining ongoing dialogue between the private sector and key economic stakeholders in Mexico and the United States is intended to support regional integration, encourage investment and strengthen North America’s economic competitiveness.
Larry Rubin, president of the American Society of Mexico, said the U.S.-Mexico relationship has entered a new phase in which security, competitiveness and economic cooperation have become closely interconnected.
“Today, the bilateral relationship requires a comprehensive conversation. Security has become a central component of the agenda between Mexico and the United States, and for that reason, the participation of industry is indispensable. CONCAMIN’s voice, as the representative of the country’s leading productive sectors, is essential to enrich this dialogue and strengthen cooperation between our two nations,” Rubin said.
Alejandro Malagón Barragán, president of CONCAMIN, said the current moment in the U.S.-Mexico relationship underscores the need for forums that bring together business leaders and other high-level stakeholders to discuss common challenges and identify opportunities for bilateral cooperation.
During the event, AmSoc also invited business leaders from multiple industries to participate in its fifth Binational Convention. The conference will bring together business executives, public officials and subject-matter experts from Mexico and the United States to discuss issues affecting the bilateral relationship.
According to AmSoc, topics on the agenda will include the upcoming USMCA review, North American economic integration, regional competitiveness, security, innovation and economic development. The organization said the convention is intended to provide a forum for dialogue on policies and strategies affecting cross-border trade and investment.
CONCAMIN has represented Mexico’s industrial sector for more than a century, bringing together chambers and associations from a wide range of manufacturing and industrial activities. The organization has promoted initiatives related to innovation, investment, employment and supply chain development, which it said have contributed to strengthening North America’s position as one of the world’s most competitive economic regions.
