"It was great to engage with the Representatives, to understand better the concerns of their constituents, and to brief them on the challenges and opportunities facing the organization and global trade," DG Okonjo-Iweala said.  "The dialogue was constructive and a welcome sign of USA leadership and engagement with the WTO.”

The non-official visit was organized under the TransAtlantic Capital to Capital Exchange programme with the Ripon Society and Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange.
