Sariñana also emphasized the importance of festivals that reflect the region’s identity.
Sariñana said Sol Summit “is going to highlight the border culture and the bilingual identity,” adding that borders are places where people can see “what it feels like to just be fully cooperative and collaborative… People from El Paso feel like an extension of Juárez. And people from Juárez feel El Paso very close to their heart.”
