GENEVA - Shaikha Lubna bint Khalid Al Qasimi, Minister of Foreign Trade, held talks today with Pascal Lamy, Director-General of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) over the second review of the trade policies and practices of the United Arab Emirates.
The basis for the review is a report by the WTO Secretariat and a report by the Government of the United Arab Emirates. All WTO members are reviewed, the frequency of each country’s review varying according to its share of world trade.
The UAE and WTO affirmed the review provides a fitting opportunity to explain these policies meticulously.
