Idaho’s Mexican consulate to open this year

The Mexican government has appointed diplomat Ricardo Pineda to open a consulate in Boise and serve a growing Hispanic population in Idaho and Montana.

Pineda, former deputy consul general for the Mexican consulate in San Diego, opened a temporary office in Boise last month. The office, which now has five employees, will eventually be staffed with up to 11 workers, he said.
