The event is was hosted by Progress321, a non-profit working to improve the border.
"We’re thrilled to host a mayoral panel featuring our binational mayors. Bringing together leaders to discuss the future of our region’s economic development is at the heart of Progress321’s mission," said Analisa Cordova Silverstein, President of Progress321.
"We are looking forward to the conversation, as you can see we are already working together, we are developing friendships," said El Paso Mayor Renard Johnson.
When asked about how the newly elected officials are preparing for changes to the region, Las Cruces Mayor Eric Enriquez said that they have to think about the region as a whole and not individual cities.
"We're building that relationship, whether it comes in economic development, or anything that comes our way that we can all share together and work out the difficulties and the problems we're going to face."
