Nath to release World Trade

New Delhi, Feb 22 (UNI) The World Trade and Development Report 2007, prepared by Research and Information System for developing countries (RIS), will be released by Union Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath at a function here tomorrow.

The report focusses on asymmetries, impact and challenges in the emerging multilateral trading system and development; addressing the clashing interests of rich and poor farmers, Non-Agricultural Market Access (NAMA) and developing countries.

It also focusses on the important issues of trade in services and development; trade facilitation and developing countries; TRIPs, indigenous knowledge and geographical indications; dispute settlement understanding from a developing country perspective; and South-South cooperation in trade.

The report is a valuable resource for policy makers, development economists, civil society organisations and those concerned about making globalisation and trade work for development.

The function is being jointly organised by the Oxford University Press India and RIS.
