Political analyst and economist Carlos Heredia is one of 13 Mexicans serving on the Trilateral Commission, a policy-oriented NGO founded in 1973 to promote greater cooperation between countries in North America, Western Europe and Pacific Asia. Heredia, who is a member of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party (PRD), served a three-year term in Mexico’s lower house of Congress.
After leaving the Congress in 2000, he founded the Mexican Council on Foreign Relations and served as the organization’s vice president. He has been a member of an independent task force launched by the Council on Foreign Relations to examine regional integration since the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement and now serves on the board of directors of the Foundation for Democracy, Alternatives and Debate, an organization led by former leftist presidential candidate Cuauhtemoc Cardenas.
