Mexico, China textile talks falter; WTO dispute panel eyed

Nov 22 (Reuters) - Mexico will likely ask the World Trade Organization to settle a dispute with China over government aid to textile makers after bilateral talks failed to reach a deal, an economy ministry spokesman said on Thursday.

Mexico's economy ministry said in a statement that trade officials from both countries had met but that they could not come to an agreement. The ministry said that it still hoped to negotiate a solution, but that it would defend Mexico's interests under WTO rules.
