(MENAFN- Trend News Agency ) Mexico's National Bank for Foreign Trade (Bancomext) and the China Development Bank (CDB) announced on Friday the renewal of a cooperation agreement to finance projects in Mexico, Xinxua reported.
This marks the renewal of agreements signed in November 2014 when Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto visited China, Bancomext said in a statement.
Both institutions agreed to co-finance projects in Mexico in key sectors such as technology, equipment, tourism and renewable energy, among others.
