Mexico is expected to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDG) before 2015, the United Nations (UN) Office in Mexico said on Thursday.
At the Workshop on the Millennium Development Goals for Social Organizations held here, UN-Mexico Coordination Officer Muriel Obon told Xinhua that Mexico is a medium income country responding to the Millennium Development Goals initiated in 2000.
The goals are being fulfilled and need more efforts to be fulfilled, he said.
The Millennium Development Goals are outlined in eight respects, including eradication of poverty and hunger; universal elementary education; gender equity and women's autonomy; reduction of children's mortality; reduction of women's mortality; and the fight against the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), paludism (malaria) and other diseases.
Obon said Mexico promised in 2005 to go further on the Millennium Development Goals.
"There are more ambitious goals that Mexico has proposed itself," he said.
The UN officer added that many Mexican states are working in coordination with the UN to achieve the goals.
