The first gathering of the 2012 G20 summit was held in Los Cabos, Mexico recently, where the foreign minister of Mexico, Patricia Espinosa, proposed to expand the current G20 agenda to include political and security matters, an idea which received the backing of U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton.
Mexico’s foreign minister, Patricia Espinosa, argued when it comes to crucial issues that affect the lives of billions, "the international community is failing."
She continued to announce that the foreign ministers of the G20 would meet again this summer at the G20 leaders’ summit (June 19-20) where Mexico will be in attendance as first Latin American country to preside the G20. There, for the first time, the G20 will be lending thought to a slew of global issues ranging from green growth and food security to transnational crime. For those that are familiar with the G20’s focus on macroeconomic issues, this represents huge progress.
