G90 countries make advances

The poorest and smallest countries recently emerged as a Group of 90 (G90), which operates in the World Trade Organisation (WTO). Their representatives held a ministerial meeting in Georgetown, Guyana. It started with an impromptu clash between Guyana and the European Union, and ended with a consensus on the common stand the group should take in the WTO. 

A MINISTERIAL meeting of the G90 developing countries saw an interesting and impromptu clash of views between the President of Guyana and the European Union representative on whether the poorer countries take trade seriously enough.
