President Enrique Pena Nieto to Visit California Today

August 25, 2014

California Governor Jerry Brown and Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto spoke about the immigration crisis and climate change during Brown's 'Trade and Investment Mission to Mexico' last month.

Los Angeles — Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto is traveling to California today at the invitation of Governor Jerry Brown - less than a month after Brown visited his country.

The governor's office has announced that the two will address hundreds of Mexican and Mexican-American leaders at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles.

On Tuesday, Brown will host a luncheon in the president's honor in Sacramento. Pena Nieto will then address the California Legislature at the state capitol.

There was no immediate word on what Pena Nieto plans to say, but Mexico and the US share concerns about a host of issues, including immigration and pollution. Mexico also is California's largest export market.

During Governor Brown's trip to Mexico last month, he signed nonbinding agreements on trade, education, and environmental cooperation.

One calls for a pilot program to educate Mexican temporary farm workers who travel to California about their rights, and for the creation of a database of people in Mexico who recruit US-bound, low-skilled workers.

California also agreed to help Mexico find ways to build renewable energy plants in Baja California and to find ways to shorten long waits at the Tijuana-San Diego international border crossing.
