In brief: Economy minister to head Mexico’s Davos delegation
* Mexico’s economy minister, Graciela Márquez, is leading the country’s delegation at the World Economic Forum (WEF) annual summit in Davos, Switzerland, which began on 20 January and will not be attended by President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard, or Finance Minister Arturo Herrera. According to Mexico’s economy ministry, Márquez will be seeking to attract foreign investment to Mexico and increase opportunities to diversify the country’s exports. She will take part in various WEF sessions with representatives from the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (Eclac), as well as bilateral meetings with peers from Mexico’s largest trading partners and executives from multinational companies. Márquez will also represent Mexico in the WTO ministerial meetings.
