Ministers from around the world are meeting in Geneva for this trade conference amid various global challenges
The Russian blockade of grain exports from the Black Sea threatens global food supplies – but member states are taking differing approaches to dealing with Moscow. While countries like the UK and USA are cutting commercial ties with Russia, other states, such as Turkey and India, are still very reliant on it for staples such as wheat and oil.
Ongoing debates about fishing rights and whether there should be patent protection wavers for Covid vaccines will also be on the agenda, as will potential changes to the operations of the WTO itself. Leading up to the Conference, WTO Director-General, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, and Mr Sandagdorj Erdenebileg of the UN High Representative for Least-Developed Countries signed a partnership agreement yesterday in Geneva aimed at strengthening cooperation to boost the participation of least-developed countries in the global trading system.
