Monterrey, NL. The United States Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar commented that the Colombia Bridge is part of the international crossings with the American Union, which are the blood that runs through the veins of the economy of the region of North America, and recognized that the current state government is doing things that had not been done for 25 years, such as the La Gloria-Colombia highway.
During a press conference in which the governor of New Lion, Samuel García Sepúlveda and Ambassador Ken Salazar, the diplomat stressed that the future of Mexico, United States and Canada It is common and he recalled that in the meeting held by the president of the United States, Joe Biden and of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador on November 18, they agreed that “the North American economy is the center of the world economy.”
This can be seen in the dynamism of international trade, especially at border crossings, such as the World Bridge in Nuevo Laredo and that of Tijuana, and “I know of the leadership of Nuevo León doing things that had not been done in 25 years, such as the La Gloria-Colombia highway, I am still studying it, the same in Tijuana on the La Mesa 2 bridge, it is not a United States project But if it affects (that is not ready) the highway on this side (of Nuevo León), a bridge and a crossing that does not connect, it does not work, “he said.
The press conference had the purpose of announcing that this Wednesday, December 8, the First Meeting between the governors of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, Coahuila and San Luis Potosí, with the United States Embassy in Mexico, who will participate in a forum in which four tables will be held: Economy and Labor; Infrastructure and Environment, Security and Migration, indicated the state president.

Security
On the other hand, the ambassador recognized that there are problems of insecurity due to the trafficking of people, migrants and drugs, but stressed that combating it is a responsibility of the two countries, including the border states, such as New Lion.
“We are not going to solve violence on the roads in one day, but we can move forward, taking into account the fundamental right of people to live without fear.”
On the other hand, he indicated that in Baja California and San Diego, are making efforts so that “migrants do not enter the corridor of suffering, because those who are encouraging them to enter the caravans are the same criminal organizations, who deceive the migrants and take thousands of dollars from them,” every day they are being detained at thousands of people, we have to break these criminal chains, “he said.
He believed that this large flow of migration can be attributed to the pandemic, as well as to economies that do not work, such as Guatemala and El Salvador, and also to governments such as Venezuela, which expel hundreds of thousands of people.
