- SAN DIEGO (AP) - University of California, San Diego, has opened a branch office in Mexico City.

Thursday's opening is part of the university's plan to forge a partnership with Mexico.

The "UCSD Partnership with Mexico" initiative was announced in November by chancellor Marye Anne Fox.

The partnership will focus on improving air quality in the Baja-San Diego region, building a technology corridor on both sides of the border and developing and improving economic policies in Mexico.

"This partnership with Mexico represents vital collaboration, interdisciplinary excellence and innovations that will benefit all of our citizens," Fox said in a statement.

"Our national initiatives bring together leaders from education, business, government, nonprofit organizations and civil society to address issues that deeply affect our health and welfare," she said.
