WTO meet in April

GENEVA: World trade ministers have called off a meeting planned here for this month in the absence of sufficient progress toward a global trade liberalisation deal. But they added that some headway had been made in discussions on reducing barriers to agricultural trade, making a ministerial meeting possible in May. Negotiations aimed at securing a preliminary agreement on trade in agricultural and industrial products have not advanced as much as had been hoped at the start of the year. — AFP
