Mexico’s Next President: Challenges and Recommendations [[link removed]]
Tuesday, Nov. 14 // 2–3:30 pm (ET)
The 2024 presidential elections will mark a milestone in Mexico’s history and will test the nation’s democratic system. Millions of Mexican citizens will go to the polls on June 2 to elect a new president, all members of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of the Republic, as well as eight governors, Mexico City’s Head of Government, 31 local congresses, and other representatives around the country. These elections will be the largest in Mexico’s history and for the first time, a woman could be selected to lead the country for the next six years.
Given the panoply of issues that will face the new president and the limited time available to develop strategies to address them, the Wilson Center's Mexico Institute prepared this booklet of recommendations on six (energy, migration, nearshoring, security, USMCA and North America, and water) of the most salient issues for consideration by the presidential candidates and their campaign teams. Each of these issues is relevant in Mexico, to the Mexico-US bilateral relationship, and to citizens on both sides of the border.
To analyze and discuss all these issues, please join the authors at the official launch of this booklet.

Mobilizing Private Investment in International Infrastructure [[link removed]]Thursday, Nov. 16 // 1:30–4:15 pm (ET)
The Wilson Center’s Wahba Institute for Strategic Competition (WISC) launched several working groups to explore how America can be a catalyst for greater private investment that supports international development and climate action, but also leads to a free and open environment for individuals and countries alike. This led to a focus on ensuring trusted and secure communications, free and open transportation systems, and open access to critical minerals. The working groups noted that the only way to generate the kind of investment and economic growth required to meet these goals is to mobilize private sector capital on a level never seen before. The event explores paths to doing so.
