Can't guarantee India's concerns will be addressed, says WTO D-G

But assures the long-standing issue of farm, fisheries subsidies will be heard at ministerial

World Trade Organization (WTO) director-general (D-G) Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala on Friday said India’s stand on fisheries and farm subsidies would be heard at the WTO ministerial conference (MC). However, she did not assure that the country's concerns would be addressed.

In a meeting with Okonjo-Iweala, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, however, stressed on fair, just and equitable outcome at the WTO  Ministerial to meet developmental requirements of India for its people.

Wrapping up her three-day visit to India, WTO D-G was also hopeful of a “good outcome” at the 12th MC that will kick off at the end of next month in Geneva. As
