One of his government's strategic projects is to build a
bicoastal corridor in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a narrow area of land in
southern Mexico, between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, he said.
"We have the possibility to connect the Pacific with the Atlantic
in this 230-kilometer stretch of territory," Lopez Obrador told
investors at the presentation by the Investment, Employment and Economic
Growth Promotion Council.
As part of the development push in the isthmus, the government
will modernize two ports -- Salina Cruz and Coatzacoalcos -- as well as a
rail line for cargo trains, said Lopez Obrador.
"To stimulate investment," the administration is also
considering creating a duty-free zone in the area, he said.
