Prabhu to push India's proposal on services pact at WTO meet in Morocco

Here is why nations are converging in Morocco for the 2-day meet and what this means for trade

Commerce and Industry Ministry Suresh Prabhu is expected to pitch India's proposal on a trade facilitation agreement (TFA) on services hard at the World Trade Organization (WTO) mini-ministerial meet, which began in Morocco on Monday. 

WTO has broken conventional practices to call this 2 -day mini-ministerial meet for hammering out the exact agenda for the subsequent biennial summit in December, a senior commerce and industry ministry official said. 

This will be Prabhu's first brush with the WTO system and the 35 trade ministers from key economies, after taking charge as Commerce Minister last month.
