I met the Mexican Foreign Minister yesterday to discuss her country’s key bridging role between the G8 “leading industrialised countries” and the plus 5 “emerging economies (Mexico, China, India, Brazil, South Africa). I support their inclusion in G8 discussions but this is a sore point; their participation in G8 meetings is limited. I think that is a pity as most of the big G8 issues eg climate change or energy require a deal between the emerging and developed economies. Not much chance of a deal if they are not at the table.
