Subject of Discussion
As the objective is to resume and intensify the Doha Round
negotiations, technical discussions are not envisaged. The discussion will
mainly focus on the best way to spark the multilateral negotiations to move the Round
to a quick closure. This will naturally entail a sharply focused discussion on
process rather than content. After all, the intention is to build a
broad-based consensus on how Ministers would like to see the process of
negotiation fast tracked. The objective is to draw up a clear plan for
re-engagement at the WTO in the near future so as to take the Round
forward.
