Rafidah on lessons of Cancun meeting

THE World Trade Organisation (WTO) Ministerial Conference in Cancun, Mexico, two months ago cannot be viewed as a success or failure but as a meeting where many lessons could be learnt, said International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz. 

“There are many lessons that can be learnt from the meeting in Cancun. Developed countries should listen more to the array of real concerns of the developing countries. Developing countries must also understand their rights and how they should approach every issue. They must also understand and appreciate the success that can be achieved in unity,” she said at a seminar on the Outcome of the 5th WTO Ministerial Conference in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.
