Mexico Trade Mission October 14 – 16, 2015
A Port of Hueneme trade delegation visits Mexico on Thursday, October 15 and Friday, October 16, 2015 to explore business opportunities in Baja California with visits to Tijuana and Ensenada. The trade mission promises to serve as a catalyst for increased trade by putting the Port in direct contact with global partners and prospective customers. Importantly, the Port’s trade mission aligns with President Obama’s “Look South Initiative,” an initiative launched to make U.S. companies aware of emerging trade opportunities in Latin America and understand the resources available to help them penetrate these markets.
