Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta called on industrial
and developing nations on Tuesday to overcome conflicts of interest
and advance a more liberal global trade system, speaking on the first
day of ministerial World Trade Organization (WTO) talks in Nairobi.
Kenyatta called on rich Western nations to dismantle agricultural
subsidies and treat developing nations more fairly, adding that more
economic growth through stronger global trade is in the interest of
all countries
Pointing to the success of this month's Paris climate talks, the Kenyan president said it was possible to produce results at multi-lateral negotiations despite strong differences.
Starting in the afternoon, the four-day meeting is intended to
unblock the Doha round of talks on free trade and development that
was started in 2001, but experts have said there were slim chances
that trade ministers from WTO's 162 member countries would achieve a
breakthrough in Nairobi,Kenya
