Mexico City. Through a video posted on social media, the United States ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, launched an open call for “ideas” to name sites in the new headquarters of the U.S. embassy in this country, which is about to be inaugurated.
In his message released on Thursday, Salazar said that “it will be the first embassy, the most important in the world” and therefore he is asking for proposals and ideas for naming the headquarters, with themes related to the relationship between Mexico and the United States.
“We are moving into our new home, the new embassy, here in Mexico. This investment of our hearts here in Mexico must sing of the relationship between the United States and Mexico, of our families that unite us, of our trade that makes us the greatest power in the world, of celebration, of democracy, of everything that we are as North America.
“So, I come very humbly to ask you for a favor. We have many places that need to be named here in the embassy, we ask for your ideas. They must be ideas that will remain not for one year, ten, but fifty (years) and much further ahead. So, we need your ideas on the names for this place that will be the first most important embassy in the entire world here in this nation,” says Salazar.
Currently, the U.S. Embassy is located on Paseo de la Reforma. The new headquarters, which will have greater capacity and size to handle requests, is being built in the former Colgate-Palmolive factory, in Casa de la Moneda, Irrigación neighborhood, Miguel Hidalgo, north of Mexico City.
