More than 50 local, state, and federal representatives from the U.S. and Mexico joined private sector leaders from both countries for a binational summit to reiterate their commitment to working together to advance the construction of the Otay Mesa East Land Port of Entry. The summit, led by the U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar and moderated by California Lieutenant Governor Eleni Kounalakis, was held at the site where the new port is being built.
The Ambassador also met with the city of Tijuana and the State government to discuss joint efforts to address transboundary pollution impacting the Tijuana river valley in our region. He was joined by the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Michael Regan.
This was Ambassador Salazar’s first visit to San Diego since was sworn in as United States Ambassador to Mexico on September 2, 2021.
