New Delhi : The contentious Doha round of trade negotiations is near closure but this is dependent on addressing the sensitivities of the various stakeholders, Indian Commerce Minister Kamal Nath said Tuesday.
“We are closer than ever before to closing the round,” he said while addressing a session on New Partners, New Alliances: India and Global Commerce at the Fortune Global forum here.
“We are in the last mile. If we can win this, we are there,” the minister maintained.
“At the same time, we have to address sensitivities. If America has its sensitivities relating to agriculture, so do African nations that have only one crop,” he added.
The Fortune Global Forum, which brings together the world’s top industry leaders, is being held in India for the first time.
