The Consulate General of Mexico is pleased to announce the first edition of "Mexico Advocacy Day" on Wednesday May 12th, 2010.


In what we hope will become an annual tradition, a delegation of academics, public officials and private sector representatives from both Mexico and The U.S. will meet with state legislators and officials to foster relations between Mexico and California, around two specific issues.
