NEW YORK, April 23 (Xinhua) -- Director-General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, said on Wednesday there is a need to learn from history in regard to the U.S. federal government's push for wholesale re-industrialization or import substitution.
Import substitution stories in countries like Brazil and Nigeria didn't go so well and "we need to learn from history," Okonjo-Iweala said at a dialogue organized by the Council on Foreign Relations.
