Ambassador Wayne visited the city of Neuquén on May 22. The Ambassador had a fruitful and informative meeting with Governor Jorge Sapag. Governor Sapag and Ambassador Wayne promised to maintain close contact to strengthen and increase commercial and cultural exchanges between the province of Neuquén and the United States. They also talked about the performance of U.S. companies based in the province such as Chevron, Duke Energy, Apache, Wal-Mart and AES and about current trade between local producers like apple juice manufacturers and the United States.
“It is a pleasure for me to be here in Neuquén for the first time and explore the possibilities of cooperation and commercial and cultural exchanges between the province of Neuquén and the United States,¨-- said Ambassador Wayne.
Additionally, Ambassador Wayne and Governor Sapag exchanged ideas on the possibility of increasing cultural exchanges; especially between the young people of the province and the United States. In this regard, the Ambassador spoke about his project of connecting the whole public administration to an informatics highway; thus increasing the possibilities of generating more cultural and distance-training exchanges. Also present at the meeting were First Vice-president of the Provincial Legislature Carlos Horacio González and Second Vice-president, Deputy Graciela Muñiz Saavedra.
