G-4 and G-6 ministers to meet in Delhi on Apr 12

New Delhi, Apr 10 (UNI) The trade ministers of the G-4 group of countries, which include India, Brazil, the United States and the European Commission (EC), will meet here on April 12 to review the progress on the Doha Round since its resumption.

This will be the first formal meeting of the Trade Ministers of the G-4 since July 2006.

The meeting of the G-4 will be followed immediately by a meeting of the ministers of the G-6, in which Japan and Australia are also members.

The ministers are expected to discuss the areas of emerging convergence among the countries as well as the steps to be taken to contribute in a constructive manner to the multilateral process, so as to enable a successful conclusion of the Doha Round.

The Doha Round of multilateral trade negotiations at the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which had been suspended in July last year on account of a lack of consensus on domestic support and market access in agriculture, resumed on February 7 this year.
