Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – The World Economic Forum and the Government
of Mexico recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to mark the beginning of
preparations for the international event. The meeting will take place in Puerto
Vallarta’s International Convention Center on April 16-18, 2012. The 2012 Young
Global Leaders Annual Summit will be held as part of the meeting in Nuevo
Vallarta on April 14-16, 2012.
The Memorandum of Understanding was signed at World Economic Forum
headquarters in Geneva by Jose Antonio Torre, Undersecretary for Competitiveness
and Business Regulation of Mexico and World Economic Forum Founder and Executive
Chairman, Klaus Schwab.
The meeting will address Latin America’s role in the governance of the global
economy during Mexico’s chairmanship of the G20 as the country prepares for
presidential elections.
“The World Economic Forum on Latin America will be held in Mexico at an
important time for the country and the region as a whole,” said Marisol Argueta
de Barillas. “Latin American countries continue to be an attractive destination
for investment and the region demonstrates strong finances, continued economic
growth and social development, despite the current global context. With this
backdrop of economic strength, we are delighted to be in Puerto Vallarta to
discuss the political, social and economic priorities for the region and the
implication for Latin America’s role in the world.”
“The World Economic Forum on Latin America in Mexico is a perfect opportunity
to convene leaders from business, government, academia, civil society and the
media from across Latin America to reshape our path and accelerate our pace
towards prosperity,” said Bruno Ferrari Garcia de Alba. “Mexico is pleased to
welcome Latin American leaders and build together a more prosperous future for
our people.”
