Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto on Monday presented a five-year plan, aimed at combating violence and improving administration.

"Mexico has the historic opportunity to launch a national transformation," Pena Nieto said at an event to announce the plan, adding that for the first time, the government has devised a development plan that includes the periodic evaluation of its progress.

Before the presentation, Luis Videgaray, the secretary (Minister) of Finance and Public Credit, said the government had received 228,949 proposals through public consultations and used those ideas to elaborate the plan.

The 2013-2018 National Development Plan outlines the government's five main goals, including fighting violence, improving administration, protecting citizen rights and boosting economy.

It also sets aims for the nation's education and common wealth. Some complementary strategies are presented in the documents as well.
