The UK Foreign Ministry reports that Mexican President Fox and others have been invited by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to participate in a broadened meeting of the G8 on July 7th.

From the Mexican Embassy homepage:

The G8 is comprised of the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Canada, Germany, Japan and Russia, the most industrialized countries in the world and those with the greatest economic weight. In addition to Mexico, Brazil, China, India and South Africa have been invited to the meeting. All five countries have emerging economies and significant influence in their respective regions.

The meeting will be held on July 7th during the G8’s annual meeting that will be held this year in Gleneagles, Scotland under the presidency of the United Kingdom. Important international issues will be discussed such as climate change, financing for development in the poorest regions of the world and trade.

President Fox sent a letter to the British Prime Minister thanking him for the invitation and expressing Mexico’s great interest in participating in the discussion on these issues, which are of the greatest importance for the world in general and for Mexico in particular.

President Fox was also invited to a broadened format of the G8’s annual meeting in Evian, France in 2003. At that time, he presented those present with Mexico’s proposals for international economic growth, which was the central issue of that meeting, and he stressed the importance of further opening up the markets of the most developed countries.
