Mexico City - Mexico has announced that it will participate in next year's G-20 Anti-Corruption Summit and will present the advances made in the country over the years, despite the fact that President Enrique Peña Nieto's administration has faced a barrage of criticism over corruption scandals this past year alone.

The Mexican Minister of Public Administration, Virgilio Andrade, made the announcement on International Anti-Corruption Day last Wednesday, saying they were invited by the United Kingdom to speak at the event.

British Ambassador in Mexico Duncan Taylor highlighted Mexico as an example of civility and democratic society, stressing the progress made in the country in the field of corruption, reported La Jornada.

According to Andrade, the country will tell its G-20 audience of Mexico's success in reducing corruption and also participate in creating the meeting's agenda.

"Mexico is cooperating in the construction of the agenda on pending issues that on a global scale are necessary to address, in respect to (corruption)," said Andrade from a special event at the British Embassy. The minister added that the meeting is expected to occur some time between April and May of 2016.
