Current Affairs - International - Discussion

Suresh Prabhu, Commerce and Industry Minister, announced that India will host a mini-ministerial meeting of 40 WTO (World Trade Organisation) members in February 2018. The aim of this mini-ministerial meeting is that the WTO should also focus on relevant issues of today's world. In the meeting support for food security and other issues will be discussed. India has been bringing up agricultural issues at the WTO. It also opposes the practice of bringing issues to WTO which are not directly linked to trade.
