Earlier today, City of Laredo Mayor Raul G. Salinas (right) welcomed Mexican Consul General Miguel Angel Isidro (center) and Consul Adscrito Juan Jose Martinez (left) to recognize Mexico’s Bicentennial Anniversary of their Independence. Tomorrow, Salinas, who will be traveling to Washington, D.C. to meet with Vice-President Joe Biden, to discuss the drug violence that is plaguing Mexico, in particular Nuevo Laredo, and the possible spill-over into Laredo, will be unable to participate in the annual Dies y Seis celebration held in downtown Laredo and sponsored by the Consul’s office.
“Mexico is our largest trading partner, our friend, our neighbor, and most importantly, our family,” said Salinas. “I want to take time out to recognize this historic and wonderful milestone in your country’s history, and let you know that you will be in my thoughts while I am in Washington tomorrow.”
