中國海外經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易博覽會，中國海外經濟合作總公司同杜蘭戈州政府簽署了價值21.5億美元的協議。
該項目旨在建設一座發電能力達1500兆瓦的聯合循環電站，中國海外經濟合作總公司是主要投資商。
杜蘭戈州經濟發展部部長里卡多·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，直接創造工作崗位1500個。”
據納瓦雷特表示，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，這是一筆相當大的投資，它為以后的各項投資打開了大門。”
中國海外經濟合作總公司總裁侯學軍稱，中墨兩國多個領域的雙邊貿易“穩步”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構性改革表示歡迎，特別是能源部門的對外開放，這為外國企業以及墨西哥私營企業進軍能源領域創造了機會。
博覽會組織者之一——中華企業家協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機會，并會促進墨西哥經濟的發展。
本年度的中墨博覽會在墨西哥城班科默博覽中心舉辦，吸引了兩國400多家企業和投資者。
商業機會，主要是墨西哥轉型中的產業、礦業、石油、能源、電信和農業等領域的貿易機會，是本次博覽會的主要內容。
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.
