Canadian – Mexican Mining Partnership: Forging Stronger Alliances
The Canadian and Mexican governments have great connections long before the introduction of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). This multifaceted relationship has led both countries into ensuing economic growth via partnerships. Merging Canadian skills, knowledge, and expertise in the mining industry with Mexico’s abundant natural resources seems practical, as they complement each other. This successful Canadian-Mexican mining partnership is bound to stay for generations.
Canada is a great asset to international investment, and it has made a great deal by investing resources to this Latin American powerhouse. Recently, Canadian mining giants such as Pan America, Alianza Minerals, and Alix Resources are dominating the market. Still, there are more momentous mining opportunities waiting for SME’s to explore.
The possibilities for SME’s are endless, including everything from surveying, exportation of mining machines and equipment, water management, and assistance in the mines’ closure. These investments diverge and can be in the form of international trade, business creations, or company acquisitions. Thanks to NAFTA, these nations can achieve such feat more conveniently than before.
Canadian – Mexican Mining Partnership Event
On May 23, 2017, the Canadian Embassy launched an event for its investors who are planning to invest in the Mexican mining sector. As the event’s highlight, the embassy assigned Biz Latin Hub to make a presentation on how to how to conduct business in Mexico. Alex Mahoney, the Mexico Country Manager for Biz Latin Hub, did the honors.
The talk was concise and informative, as it explained the list of factors indispensable to Canadian investment in Mexico. The most significant part of the presentation indicated how a Canadian-Mexican mining partnership would work. This includes the need for foreign companies to subcontract their business aspects and to delegate their resources effectively.
Nadin Nadji, the Trade Commissioner of the Embassy of Canada spearheaded this well-organized event. The puzzle-fitting combination of accurate and applicable mining information and an efficient platform truly connects Canadian investors with potential Mexican business partners. Despite language and cultural barriers, the event created an environment where both countries mutually understood each other. This allowed the development of both business and personal relationships between the two nations.
This presentation was a follow-up from the Canadian Trade Commission’s former visit to Biz Latin Hub’s Colombian office in Bogota. This meeting further discussed the increasing trade and refining relationships between Canada and Latin America.
