New Delhi : Representatives from 50 countries will be gathering in New Delhi on March 19 & 20, 2018, for an informal World Trade Organisation (WTO) ministerial meeting. The informal meeting of ministers will provide an opportunity to engage in free and frank discussions with the hope that it will lead to political guidance on some major issues.

It is hoped that the New Delhi meeting will provide an opportunity to the ministers to explore in greater detail the options on different issues for re-invigorating the WTO. Safeguarding and strengthening the multilateral trading system was never as important as it is today, and the WTO is also facing systemic challenges particularly its dispute settlement arm, according to aPIB release.
