SAN ANTONIO — Lt. Governor Brian K. Krolicki is in San Antonio participating in the Americas 2020 International Trade and Transportation Summit for U.S. and Mexico officials. Krolicki addressed the conference Thursday on “Strengthening Economic Competitiveness” with an aim of identifying practices that can be replicated in cross-border situations and identifying challenges officials need to address to expand economic competitiveness.

“Nearly 150 public and private sector officials are attending this conference and will be actively working with me and the other attendees to identify ways Nevada and all states can improve economic opportunities with Mexico,” Krolicki said.

Nevada is home to a consulate office for Mexico and the country is one of Nevada’s top trading partners. Krolicki is chair of the Commission on Economic Development, chair of the Commission on Tourism and vice-chairman of the state Board of Transportation. He is also a member of the United States Intergovernmental Policy Advisory Committee on Trade.

The meeting is being sponsored by the Border Legislative Conference, the Council of State Governments and the U.S. Agency for International Development.
