The President is looking forward to improve the positive relationship with California and the close cooperation between both governments. It is hoped that it will also help to improve the relationship with the people of Mexican origin in the state.
According to the presidential agenda, the visit aims to offer them better consular services and praise them as determining factors of development, prosperity and growth.
