PIMSA congratulates CETYS President, Dr. Fernando LEON, and President of Al Akhawayn University, Dr. Driss OUAOUICHA. These visionary actions are an important complement for our Baja California and Morocco manufacturing community.

A special mention to Mexico’s Ambassador in Morocco, The Honorable Dr. Andres ORDOÑEZ, for his presence as a quality witness and for his interest in building opportunities between Morocco and Baja California, Mexico.
