Assemblyman Nao Takasugi is one of 40 Californians who left Monday on a four-day trip to Mexico in an effort to increase trade between the state and its southern neighbor.
The entourage--which includes several California legislators, business leaders and educators--will meet with Mexican President Ernesto Zedillo, Mexican Commerce Secretary Herminio Blanco, and the mayor-elect of Mexico City, Cuauhtemoc Cardenas. The group will also visit the Mexican stock exchange.
Takasugi (R-Oxnard) said trade between California and Mexico has almost tripled in the last decade.
