The Corozal Free Zone has been under pressure recently based on tense relations with the Mexican cartels who control the tobacco trade.
Well, in an effort to perhaps cool things down, the Office of the Prime Minister and other Government of Belize officials met with counterparts from the Mexican state of Quintana Roo at the Corozal Free Zone conference room yesterday, November 12,.
A release says they discussed ways to increase the exchange of information and best practices as it relates to gender-based violence interventions and beach erosion initiatives in the Chetumal Bay, coordination of initiatives and projects, the introduction in Belize of a border pass for residents in the five Southern Mexican States, and joint policy development to increase and coordinate investment.
