MEXICO CITY: Mexican Secretary of Energy Pedro Joaquín Coldwell has presented International Energy Agency (IEA) Executive Director Fatih Birol with an official letter declaring Mexico’s interest in becoming an IEA member.
“I am delighted that Mexico, a G20 member and significant energy producer and consumer, has decided to take this important step,” Dr. Birol said during a press conference with Secretary Joaquín Coldwell at IEA headquarters. “This presents an excellent opportunity for the IEA to strengthen its ties with Mexico, and opens the door to greater engagement across Latin America. It is a key step towards our objective of building a truly global international energy organization.”
“The IEA offers a forum to develop joint answers and global co-operation schemes to guarantee energy security, promote economic development and foster environmental sustainability worldwide,” said Secretary Joaquín Coldwell.
Secretary Joaquín Coldwell is in Paris this week to take part in the 2015 IEA Ministerial meeting. The two-day meeting brings together the 29 IEA member countries as well as partner countries with which the IEA works closely, including Brazil, Chile, China, India, Indonesia, Morocco, South Africa and Thailand.
