A New Chapter for North American Economic Cooperation Has Begun

On August 19, 2026, in Oakland, California, the North American Trade Parliament (NATP) was officially inaugurated by Victor Rosales, President of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Trade Council (CUSMEX

Created as an initiative of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Trade Council 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 (CUSMEX), the NATP is being established as a permanent trilateral platform.

The inaugural ceremony took place in conjunction with the 47th Annual Convention of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (CHCC), bringing together business, institutional, governmental and economic development leaders at an important moment for the future of North American trade and regional competitiveness.

CHCC holds a particularly significant place in the history of the NATP. As one of its Founding Institutional Participants, on September 2025 the CHCC became the first organization to receive a formally assigned institutional seat in the North American Trade Parliament, marking the beginning of the Parliament's permanent institutional representation.

The inaugural session marked more than the launch of a new organization. It established the foundation for an institutional mechanism designed to transform dialogue into coordinated action.

Throughout the program, leaders addressed issues central to North America's economic future, including trade and investment, regional supply chains, nearshoring and reshoring, manufacturing competitiveness, digital commerce, artificial intelligence, international market access, supplier development and cross-border economic cooperation. The official agenda also introduced the NATP's vision, institutional structure, strategic priorities and future development.

Regional economic perspectives from New Mexico, El Bajío and Sinaloa highlighted how local and regional strengths can become part of broader North American investment, manufacturing and supply-chain opportunities.

The inaugural program also included strategic initiatives, institutional collaboration, recognition of participating organizations and the official ribbon-cutting marking the inauguration of the Parliament.

August 19 was the beginning, not the conclusion.

The NATP will continue through its General Assembly, specialized committees, permanent institutional representation, strategic initiatives and three annual assemblies—one in Canada, one in the United States and one in Mexico beginning in 2027. Its intended outcomes include formal recommendations, trade and investment opportunities, supplier connections, strategic alliances, joint initiatives and sustained cross-border cooperation.

We extend our appreciation to the Oscar Garcia senior Vice-president of the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce and for its leadership and participation in this inaugural milestone, and to the institutions, governmental representatives, business organizations, economic development leaders, speakers, partners and participants who helped make the inaugural session possible.
