Smith is in Mexico from Aug. 10-13 to meet with government officials, private sector and industry leaders to encourage new investment and trade with Alberta.
Talks will focus on identifying synergies in Alberta and Mexico’s energy and agriculture sectors so the province can leverage new market opportunities for Alberta companies, attract new investment to our province and lay the groundwork for new deals with trade partners across Mexico.
“Alberta’s government has made a commitment to Albertans that we will pursue new opportunities, diversify our markets and secure new trade and investment ties around the globe. My mission to Mexico is this commitment in action,” said Smith.
“Mexico is a valued trading partner, ally and long-time friend to our province that understands just as well as we do that by working together, we have an opportunity to generate jobs, stability and prosperity for our people. While in Mexico, I intend to build new relationships and strengthen existing ones to do just that.”
This is the first official visit to Mexico by an Alberta Premier since 2019. Mexico is the province’s fourth-largest bilateral trading partner and is one of Alberta’s fastest-growing export markets.
