To back up his claim, he mentioned a personal experience during a G20 participation when he was foreign secretary. In that meeting, his counterpart from the United Arab Emirates confided in him: “I want to be close to you because Mexico is the new frontier of world manufacturing.”
In addition, Ebrard reported that he made three trips to Saudi Arabia to invite companies from that country to invest in Mexico, which resulted in the arrival of eight of his main companies in the country.
The politician also recalled that, at the beginning of his tenure as foreign minister, he managed to sign the Treaty between Mexico, the United States and Canada (T-MEC) with then-President Donald Trump, despite the difficulties in achieving it.
