Pawlenty headed to Mexico
Gov. Pawlenty is traveling to Mexico on November 9th to boost Minneosta's exports to that country. The news release said it will be a one day trip:
Governor Pawlenty will meet with Mexican President Felipe Calderon on Monday, November 9. The Governor will also meet with Minnesota business owners at a roundtable discussion and speak to the American Chamber of Commerce of Mexico. He will return to Minnesota on Tuesday, November 10.
"Over the past ten years, Mexico grew from Minnesota's 13th largest export market to 6th largest," Governor Pawlenty said. "By sharing Minnesota's successes with business and political leaders in Mexico, we hope to expand an already strong relationship."
It will be a busy couple of days for Pawlenty. He will attend the governor's deer hunting opener in Thief River Falls on November 6th and 7th. He is also scheduled to speak on November 7th to GOP activists in Des Moines, Iowa.
The Mexico trip is in addition to his trade mission to South America. The Minnesota Trade Office says the December trip will include forty business professionals and consultants.
