2/26/24, 9:59 AM UAE to welcome 175 ministers, senior officials for WTO's 13th Ministerial Conference

The gathering of 175 Member States, private sector leaders, NGOs, and civil
society representatives will allow the global community to work together toward
advancing a more efficient, sustainable, and inclusive trading system.

Ministerial Conferences are the highest decision-making body of the WTO and
serve as crucial forums for member states to address trade challenges, refine
trade rules, and set the agenda for global trade policy.

The 13th Ministerial Conference is set to build on the progress achieved during
MC12, held in Geneva in June 2022, which made substantive breakthroughs on
fisheries subsidies, food insecurity, and e-commerce. Focus areas will include

improving the ability of developing countries and Least Developed Countries
(LDCs) to access the global trading system, intellectual property, and WTO's
dispute resolution mechanism.
