US-MX High-Level Economic Dialogue

Earlier this month, the Chamber met with Mexico’s Secretariat of Foreign Affairs as part of this year’s Mexico City Summit and heard to explore efforts to restart a High Level Economic Dialogue between both countries. The formal convening took place on September 9th and focused on binational collaboration in economic recovery, promoting sustainable economic and social development in Southern Mexico and Central America, investing in people and human capital (focus on education), and securing the tools for future prosperity.

The dialogue initiated in 2013 under the Obama administration but was later suspended by President Trump. HLED was originally created to prioritize the U.S.-Mexico economic relationship and as a platform for cabinet level policymakers to strategize how to leverage the bilateral relationship to increase their global competitiveness.
