Video: Highlights of the Border Conference on the U.S.-Mexico Competitiveness Agenda

The program in El Paso took place at The University of Texas at El Paso campus, located on the U.S.-Mexico border.  It included a series of on-the record Davos-style conversations on bilateral commerce, infrastructure investment, and the Mexican and U.S. reform agendas, among other topics, and attracted more than 400 attendees.

This was the fourth event of the Council of the Americas border initiative, which aims to foster a public-private dialogue on improving management of the U.S.-Mexico border and deepening economic integration. AS/COA Chairman and Ambassador John Negroponte addressed the U.S.-Mexico border as the "windpipe of our economy" and talked about taking trade between the two countries further.

"Two decades after it's been signed and brought into force, NAFTA, I believe, it's a true success story. But I believe that more can be done to facilitate trade in our region," said Negroponte.
