Doha Development Agenda: Implications for Developing Asia
Friday, 10 May
4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
Moving a step forward from the Uruguay Round, on 14 November 2001
in Doha, Qatar, WTO members agreed to a new round of multilateral trade
negotiations. Dubbed the "development round," the new trade round is
aimed at benefiting the poor, focusing on issues of direct interest
to developing countries. The seminar will assess the implications of
this new round of trade negotiations for developing Asia. Discussion
topics would include:
- What are the opportunities and challenges in future trade liberalization for Asia?
- What will be the developing Asia's negotiating strategies to maximize the benefits from the new round of negotiations?
- Will developing Asia benefit from negotiations on other issues such as investment and competition policy?
