In Mendoza province, Argentina, Governor Alfredo Cornejo met with U.S. Ambassador Peter Lamelas to discuss avenues for attracting investment and accessing international markets. According to Government Minister Natalio Mema, the meeting took place in a positive and constructive atmosphere. Mendoza positions itself as a province without protected industries, with a competitive wine industry ready to compete globally. Furthermore, opportunities for the development of the mining sector were discussed, considering that the northern part of the Vaca Muerta shale formation is located in Mendoza. The government is also focused on security reforms, aiming to streamline procedures to combat petty theft, which has increased in recent times. Lamelas demonstrated a deep understanding of the province, which Mema believes significantly facilitated the dialogue. Authorities hope that international cooperation and the creation of a favorable investment climate will help attract the necessary funding for long-term projects and ensure stability for investors.
