中國海外經(jīng)濟合作總公司周五表示該公司將向墨西哥能源部門投資21.5億美元。
2015年11月10日至12日，位于墨西哥北部的杜蘭戈州舉辦了中墨投資貿(mào)易博覽會，中國海外經(jīng)濟合作總公司同杜蘭戈州政府簽署了價值21.5億美元的協(xié)議。
該項目旨在建設(shè)一座發(fā)電能力達1500兆瓦的聯(lián)合循環(huán)電站，中國海外經(jīng)濟合作總公司是主要投資商。
杜蘭戈州經(jīng)濟發(fā)展部部長里卡多·納瓦雷特·戈梅斯向新華社表示，該電站“將分三個不同的階段建成，每階段500兆瓦，為期兩年，直接創(chuàng)造工作崗位1500個。”
據(jù)納瓦雷特表示，85%的投資將來自中國，剩下15%則由墨西哥提供。
他補充道：“對于杜蘭戈州來說，這是一筆相當(dāng)大的投資，它為以后的各項投資打開了大門。”
中國海外經(jīng)濟合作總公司總裁侯學(xué)軍稱，中墨兩國多個領(lǐng)域的雙邊貿(mào)易“穩(wěn)步”增強。
他還表示，公司對于墨西哥在過去三年所進行的各項結(jié)構(gòu)性改革表示歡迎，特別是能源部門的對外開放，這為外國企業(yè)以及墨西哥私營企業(yè)進軍能源領(lǐng)域創(chuàng)造了機會。
博覽會組織者之一——中華企業(yè)家協(xié)會主席包榮林向新華社表示，該項目將于2016年3月啟動，毫無疑問，這個項目將為墨西哥帶來新的就業(yè)機會，并會促進墨西哥經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展。

商業(yè)機會，主要是墨西哥轉(zhuǎn)型中的產(chǎn)業(yè)、礦業(yè)、石油、能源、電信和農(nóng)業(yè)等領(lǐng)域的貿(mào)易機會，是本次博覽會的主要內(nèi)容。
China National Corporation for Overseas Economic Cooperation (CCOEC) is set to invest $2.15 billion in Mexico's energy sector, the company said on Friday.
CCOEC signed the $2.15-billion agreement with the government of Mexico's northern state of Durango at the 2015 China-Mexico Trade and Investment Expo and Forum, held here from Nov10-12.
The project, in which the CCOEC will be the main investor, calls for the construction of a combined cycle plant with a capacity of 1,500 megawatts.
The plant "will be built over three different stages of 500 (MW) each," Durango's Secretary of Economic Development Ricardo Navarrete Gomez told Xinhua. "Each stage will be developed over a two-year period, generating 1,500 direct jobs."
According to Navarrete, China will finance 85 percent of the investment, with the remaining 15 percent coming from Mexican sources.
"This is quite a large investment for Durango, but it opens up future investment" possibilities, he added.
CCOEC's President Huo Xuejun said bilateral businesses in various fields have been "steadily"strengthened.
Huo said his company "is pleased with all the structural reforms Mexico has undertaken" in the past three years, especially the opening-up of the energy sector, which provides both foreign and Mexican private firms with opportunities to venture into the industry.
Bao Ronglin, the head of Zhonghua Business Owners Association, one of the forum's organizers,told Xinhua that the project, set to begin in March 2016, is certain to "lead to new jobs andeconomic development in Mexico."
The annual China-Mexico expo and forum brought together more than 400 companies and investors from both countries this year at Expo Bancomer exposition center of the Mexico City.
The forum highlights business opportunities, mainly in Mexico's transformation industry, mining,oil, energy, telecommunications and agriculture.
