Quoting the words of India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru on the eve of independence about India being “on the verge of bold advance”, the Director-General said: “I am here this week to listen to India’s priorities and concerns, and see how the WTO can help. India is a very active WTO member — and a strong supporter of multilateralism on the global stage. Working together, I am sure that we can continue paving the way for India’s bold advance.”
