Another forms of paradiplomacy --- I agree with you Kone. In Mexico, one of the most relevant events on the northern border are the meetings held regularly by the McAllen, Texas and Reynosa, Tamaulipas chambers of commerce and those of the mayors of both border states to strengthen their collaboration, taking into account the importance of maquiladoras. Another form of paradiplomacy are the sister cities. A good example is the excellent economic relation that prevails between Nuevo Laredo, Matamoros, and Reynosa, and Laredo, Brownsville, and McAllen.
