Governor travels to Mexico City on trade mission

September 8, 2026

SANTA FE ─ Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham arrived in Mexico City today as part of a trade mission to explore economic partnership opportunities between New Mexico and Mexico.

The governor aims to advance potential trade deals in natural gas exports during the official trade mission to Mexico. During the trip, Gov. Lujan Grisham will meet with the Mexican government, energy and business leaders, and others. Caroline Buerkle, deputy chief of operations in the Governor’s Office, and New Mexico Economic Development Secretary Rob Black are traveling with the governor.

The state is paying for their travel costs.

The Mexico trade mission builds on the governor’s longstanding effort to reduce emissions and export clean natural gas.

Gov. Lujan Grisham returns to New Mexico on Tuesday, September 15. While she is out of the state, Lt. Gov. Howie Morales will preside over New Mexico state government.
