The letter is a response to a letter from James R. Jones, the US Ambassador to Mexico, regarding the issue of import substitution. The writer, Julio A. Millan B., explains that import substitution is not meant to limit free trade, but rather to promote investment and increase competitiveness in the global market. The goal is to reactivate production of goods and services that have been displaced by lower quality and cheaper imports. The proposal aligns with the commitments made in NAFTA to increase the use of regional inputs in production.
