 New
Delhi: With commerce and industries minister Kamal
Nath meeting EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson in
London yesterday, India has joined the efforts to achieve
a common ground between developing and developed countries
on global trade talks.
Next
on Nath's itinerary is a round of talks with Pascal
Lamy, director general, WTO and Celso Amorim Brazilian
foreign and trade minister in Geneva. Nath will also
meet the key interlocutors from WTO member states.
Accordingg
to some reports from the US, the EU, the US and Brazil
were close to a consensus on the vexatious issue of
market access for agriculture products and farm subsidies.
India
is expected to convince Brazil not to toe the US demand
that developing countries provide greater market access
for its agricultural products, without agreeing for
a substantial cut in its own farm subsidies.
