The World Trade Organization (WTO) is taking significant steps to ensure that every voice is heard in global trade discussions. In an exclusive interview with CGTN’s Tian Wei, Zhang Xiangchen, the WTO Deputy Director-General, emphasized the importance of creating an open and diverse public forum.
Zhang highlighted that breaking the so-called \"WTO ivory tower\" is essential for fostering transparency and accessibility. He encouraged enhanced communication among all stakeholders, including businesses, governments, and civil society, to ensure a more collaborative approach to international trade.
A key focus of Zhang's message was the active participation of developing countries. He believes that their involvement is crucial for achieving balanced and equitable outcomes in the global trade arena. By promoting inclusivity, the WTO aims to better represent the diverse interests of its member nations and support sustainable economic growth worldwide.
