QUERÉTARO, QRO.- The Mexican Business Council for Foreign Trade, Investment and Technology (Comce) kicked off the 31st Mexican Foreign Trade Congress in Querétaro , which, according to Oscar Peralta, president of Comce Querétaro, is a meeting that brings together the voices, ideas and wills that drive the country’s economic development.
During his participation, Peralta highlighted that, with this congress, Querétaro reaffirms its role as a fundamental axis of Mexican foreign trade.
“It is a meeting point where knowledge is shared, alliances are generated, and the future of our country is projected to the world,” he said.
For his part, Marco Antonio Del Prete Tercero, head of the Secretariat of Sustainable Development of Querétaro , highlighted the importance of the state as the venue for the congress, since “we want the businesses that are done in Querétaro to benefit Mexico . “
“It is also a way to demonstrate that we can coordinate and align ourselves with the Mexico Plan and link up to strengthen our exports, thereby boosting the economic growth and foreign trade of our country,” he added.
Valentín Diez Morodo , honorary president of Comce, highlighted that Querétaro is distinguished by its productive investment, innovation, and talent.
“Today, Querétaro has become an example for the entire Mexican Republic,” he emphasized.
Furthermore, he pointed out that, since the first congress, organized in 1993 by Comce, a privileged space has been created to unite the most important sector of the national economy, which today represents 75% of the country’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) , namely foreign trade.
“After 31 years, we maintain our ambition intact: to promote the growth of Mexico’s foreign trade, which not only moves products, but also builds bridges and positions us as the tenth largest exporting economy in the world,” he emphasized.
He acknowledged that today Mexico faces significant challenges that require adapting to the new world trade order with resilience and innovation ; in addition to strengthening supply chains.
Furthermore, he urged attendees to continue integrating small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) into production chains, as they are the engine of professional prosperity for exporting companies.
“This forms part of the foundation upon which the integration of Mexico’s manufacturing industry with global production chains is being consolidated. For this reason, this year our congress is dedicating a very special space to the Made in Mexico business forum , to recognize its contribution and promote new opportunities for international development,” he emphasized.
