The ambassador of the United States in Mexico, Christopher Landau, said that the economic growth of the State of Guanajuato, governed by Diego Sinhue Rodriguez Vallejo, is impressive with more than 4 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) a year.

“I am anxious to visit my friends there in Guanajuato, there are many US nationals in San Miguel de Allende, and other cities, it is a great State. We want to work very closely with the government of the State”, noted the ambassador.

In an interview before he visited the stand of Marca #GTO of the State during the event: Mexico in the Heart of Mexico in the capital’s Zocalo, Landau said that it would be interesting to know the lessons that can be learned about the growth of El Bajio.

Lessons to be learned

The US ambassador said that the State of Guanajuato is an example to be followed: “absolutely in economic matters, all that region of El Bajio is really impressive, it is one of the economies with more growth in all the region and I think we all should see what lessons we can take after what they have done there in El Bajio”, said Landau.

“I have just visited Queretaro, I still must do a visit to Guanajuato, I knew the place some years ago as a tourist. I hope that the other states of Mexico can start the investment, the economic growth just as they have done in El Bajio”, said the US ambassador in Mexico.
