US-Mexico Chamber Of Commerce: US Not Building Enough In Mexico
By Riva Froymovich, Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES
NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- The U.S. hasn't explored construction in Mexico enough,
said Eduardo Ramos-Gomez, president of the U.S.-Mexico Chamber of Commerce
northeast chapter.
"The U.S. has taken our vicinity for granted...building in Europe, the Middle
East and Asia," said Ramos-Gomez at a conference in New York, and hasn't thought
about its neighbor to the south.
"I think we need to build a consensus and make a concerted effort to create
that infrastructure that is going to allow us to compete," Ramos-Gomez told a
gathering of top officials of different infrastructure agencies in the Mexican
government.
"Infrastructure on both sides of this border [between the U.S. and Mexico] is
not the infrastructure for a region that is prepared for the 21st century," he
said.
Alonso Garcia Tames, chief executive of Mexico's Infrastructure and Public
Services Development Bank, added that: "Infrastructure development not only
creates jobs, but improves the standard of living of Mexicans."
