El Paso Times: U.S.-Mexico Border Summit Kicks Off in Downtown El Paso
Ernesto Zedillo, a former Mexican president who is now a scholar at Yale University, will headline this year’s U.S.-Mexico Border Summit.
It has been 50 years since a sitting or former Mexican president has visited El Paso. The last time was in 1968, when Gustavo Diaz Ordaz met with U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson, according to the Office of the Historian at the U.S. State Department
“The borderplex region historically has been an economically, politically and culturally critical region for our two great nations,” Zedillo wrote in an email. “I am looking forward to what promises to be an interesting day of dialogue and ideas at the 2018 U.S. Mexico summit.”
