“There are six companies that reach Morelos with investments and extensions of plants (…),” said the official in the announcement of the STS forum in Latin America and the Caribbean.
He declared that investments will continue to arrive in Morelos in logistics, in technology -based companies and pharmaceutical industry.

They send a letter to CEO from Nissan
The governor of Morelos, Margarita González Saravia, sent a letter to Iván Espinosa, CEO of Nissan, who already said he had received it and is expected to know an answer.
The intention of the president is to have direct and personal communication even when it was per video call to review if there is an alternative to maintain the employment sources of the Nissan plant, said the Secretary of State Economic Development.
“There is no worse fight than what is not done, there is no effort that is enough if it is about maintaining the sources of work,” he said.
He added that the letter explains in detail the impact that Morelos’s economy will live due to the closure of the Nissan plant, and exposes the advantages of Morelense labor.
“It is understood that (Nissan makes) an adjustment worldwide, but it is also offered that there is an alternative to maintain the sources of work,” he said.
He said he has played base with business leaders to know the entire reengineering process of the Japanese shipowner.
