Open global trade only way to feed world: WTO
Financial Express Ahmedabad|December 16, 2024
GLOBAL POVERTY WILL increase if the world doesn't work to maintain a stable and open trading system, World Trade Organisation (WTO) director general Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala said.

"We should keep our eyes on maintaining a stable, free, open and predictable trading system," Okonjo-Iweala said in an interview in Rome on Saturday where she also met Pope Francis.

"You cannot feed the world without trade, that is just a fact. One in four calories consumed in the world is traded."
