SAN DIEGO — San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer joined more than 100 U.S., Mexican and Canadian mayors in Los Cabos, Mexico, Thursday for the inaugural North American Mayors Summit.
The three-day meeting is intended to improve relations and dialogue between the three countries. Faulconer opened the summit by welcoming his fellow mayors and is expected to sign a joint collaboration agreement with other summit attendees.
“This summit comes at a critical time as we look toward the passage of the new (U.S.-Mexico-Canada) trade agreement, work to end the environmental crisis in the Tijuana River Valley and foster greater economic growth,” Faulconer said. “I look forward to meeting with my fellow North American mayors over the next few days to define shared goals for our countries.”
We can do so much more when we work together! Happy to welcome fellow mayors from across North America to this important summit in Mexico. We’ll exchange ideas, share experiences and support each other as we work to make the lives of our residents better. #NorthAmericanMayors pic.twitter.com/WRvLBN4V8o
