近日，墨西哥共和国驻华大使馆函告我会，正式确认接受邀请，将担任第十五届中国对外投资合作洽谈会（简称“外洽会”）主宾国，深度参与本届外洽会，组织贸易与投资机遇推介活动和设立国家主题展。希望通过外洽会这一重要平台，进一步加强双边关系，深化两国在贸易和投资领域的务实合作。
中国与墨西哥于2013 年建立全面战略伙伴关系，近年来双边经贸合作加速发展：中国是墨西哥第二大贸易伙伴，墨西哥是中国在拉美第二大贸易伙伴，2024年双边贸易额突破千亿美金；2023年，中国对墨西哥新增直接投资1.51亿美元，投资存量达到24.52亿美元，主要集中在能源、电信、交通、基础设施、制造业、矿业和金融等领域。
墨西哥自然禀赋优越，能矿资源丰富，工业体系较为完整，汽车工业是墨西哥最大的制造业部门，也是支柱产业之一。近年来，墨政府重视发展数字经济和绿色经济，大力推动电子商务、金融科技、在线教育、远程医疗等，数字经济发展进入快车道。同时，墨政府在优化营商环境，制定招商新政等方面不断优化，努力保障国际投资者在墨权益。墨方新的投资政策与法律法规，为中资企业到墨投资带来了新机遇。
中海协将以外洽会为契机，携手会员企业进一步拓展中墨投资与经贸合作空间，为两国互利共赢注入新动力。（业务二部供稿）
Mexico Confirms Role as Guest of Honor Country at 15th COIFAIR
The Embassy of the United Mexican States in China has formally notified our Association of its acceptance to serve as the Guest of Honor Country at the 15th China Overseas Investment Fair (COIFAIR). Mexico will deeply engage in this year's event by organizing trade and investment promotion activities and hosting a national exhibition. This participation aims to strengthen bilateral relations and advance practical cooperation in trade and investment through the COIFAIR platform.
As one of China’s comprehensive strategic partners in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)—the highest diplomatic status in the region—Mexico has seen rapidly growing economic ties with China. China is Mexico’s second-largest trading partner, while Mexico ranks as China’s second-largest trading partner in Latin America, with bilateral trade exceeding $100 billion in 2024. In 2023, China’s newly added FDI to Mexico reached $151 million, bringing the total stock to $2.452 billion, primarily focused on energy, telecommunications, transportation, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, and finance.
Mexico possesses abundant natural resources, a robust mining sector, and a well-developed industrial system. Its automotive industry—a pillar of the manufacturing sector—leads the economy. Recently, Mexico has prioritized digital and green economies, accelerating growth in e-commerce, fintech, online education, and telemedicine. Concurrently, the government has enhanced the business climate through new investment policies, safeguarding international investors’ rights. These reforms present fresh opportunities for Chinese enterprises.
Leveraging COIFAIR, CODA will collaborate with member enterprises to expand China-Mexico investment and economic cooperation, propelling mutual prosperity.
