The governor emphasised the need to reach a concensus between the Queretaro government and ASEAN over values and principles, with focuses on sustainable economic growth and regional stability.
He said that despite being one of the localities with the highest economic growth rate in Mexico, Queretaro expects to learn the economic development experience of ASEAN.
On behalf of ACMC, Thai Ambassador Paisan Rupanichkij, rotating President of ACMC announced ACMC's initiative in strengthening connections between businesses and people of ASEAN and the state of Queretaro.
At the ASEAN-Queretaro Business Forum, Dr. Paloma Palacios González, a representative of the Queretaro state government, emphasised that ASEAN plays an increasingly important role in the global supply chain and has a significant influence on world economic activities.
She said boosting trade with ASEAN countries will bring export and investment opportunities to Queretaro.
Vietnamese Ambassador Nguyen Hoanh Nam called on businesses of the two countries to strengthen connections and take advantage of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Within the framework of the forum, nearly 40 Queretaro businesses met trade representatives of the ACMC to get information and seek trade partners./.
