Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto traveled to China on Friday to take part in the "strategic" Group of 20 (G20) Summit to be held on Sept. 4-5 in the city of Hangzhou, China.

In a statement issued on Friday, Mexico's Foreign Affairs Ministry called the gathering a "strategic platform for consolidating Mexico's global role," and said the president was heading to the forum with five "main goals," many of which are the same ones China has singled out for discussion.

China has said this year's gathering of the world's 20 biggest economies will take place with the theme "Building an innovative, strengthened, interconnected and inclusive global economy."

To that end, said the ministry, "China has proposed exploring new models for growth based on innovation, the digital economy, the new industrial revolution and structural reforms."

Similarly, topping Mexico's objectives will be "to underscore the importance of structural reforms to boost productivity and growth opportunities, and tackle the challenges of the world economy."

The second goal is to "spur investment in high-quality infrastructure to improve inclusion and connectivity."

... President Pena Nieto is traveling accompanied by his wife Angelica Rivera, and his ministers of foreign affairs and economy, among others.
