He emphasized that Sinaloa is a very important tourist destination for Canadians, for its beaches and its famous hospitality, and for that reason they decided to open a consulate here, to attend the Canadians that reside permanently in the state, and particularly in Mazatlán.

In his message, Governor Mario López Valdez thanked the ambassador for his visit, as well as the opportunity to show him what Sinaloa is and the investment possibilities it has. "We want to do business with you," he said.

López Valdez said that "Canadians have their second home in Mazatlan and we value raising the warning for Sinaloa so that more Canadians will visit us."

In this regard, he recalled that the incidence of crime in Mazatlan has been reduced considerably in high-impact crimes such as felony homicides and recalled that the only attempt against a Canadian tourist was satisfactorily resolved.

The governor of Sinaloa said that the security protocols implemented to protect tourists have been successful thanks to the confirmation of the Tourist Police and the close coordination between authorities and operators of tourist services. He stressed that the government decided to invest 77 million pesos in a video surveillance system for this municipality, which consists of 139 cameras, which are already being installed, which is expected to cover 90 percent of the city.

The purpose, he said, is to timely detect criminal acts, deter and prevent criminal behavior, and expedite the operation of emergency services.

The state official explained that there are now more than 6,500 foreigners in Sinaloa, of whom 17 percent are Canadians (1,111) and 96 percent of them live in Mazatlan, while, according to figures from The Secretary of Tourism of the state, in the first quarter of this year, visited us more than 20 thousand Canadians who arrived by air.

For his part, Economic Development Secretary Eduardo Ortiz Hernández specified that Ambassador Sara Hradecky was exposed to investment opportunities in Sinaloa, both in the agri-food sector and in tourism and mining. It is in this last sector where more Canadians invest in Sinaloa, because they already operate three production plants.

Sinaloa exports to Canada reach US $ 20 million annually, mainly in manufactured goods, but there is a good chance that this trade will grow, especially in tourism, as Canada raised its alert about Sinaloa, the state official said.

This is the first time that the governor meets with the ambassador of Canada, and the result is substantial for Sinaloa, by the agreements reached.

Public Security Secretary Frank Cordova accompanied the Canadian diplomat during his visit to various locations in Mazatlan, and even a technical visit to the southern state of C4 to learn about the security protocols that apply.

The meeting was also attended by Secretary of Tourism, Oralia Rice Rodríguez; Major General Moisés Melo Garcia, commander of the Third Military Region, as well as Rear Admiral Adrian Arteaga, commander of the 4th Naval Zone; The delegate of the PGR, Enrique Feregrino Taboada; The mayor of Mazatlán, Alejandro Higuera Osuna.
