India has urged for the prioritization of several key issues in discussions within the World Trade Organization (WTO), including access to finance, manufacturing concentration, food security, and reducing transaction costs in international trade and services. New Delhi emphasized the need to address trade issues that disproportionately affect developing countries, such as access to technology, bridging the digital divide, and supply chain resilience. New Delhi suggested a new triennial review process to improve the functioning of the Committee on Trade and Development and publish a stocktake report on not only what has been achieved but also the gaps, which members believe are preventing progress. The committee can also prepare a way forward for taking up development dimension starting from WTO informal retreat on development, India said. (ICE NEW DELHI)
