Plenary Session – I: From Regional Integration to Global Partnerships

The global economic crisis has focused attention on the multilateral trade negotiations. Even while talks were stalled, nations and regions proceeded on bilateral and regional trade agreements. India signed FTAs with ASEAN and South Korea and is negotiating with EU and other groups. The re-energising of the Doha Development Agenda in New Delhi was a welcome movement, and must be expedited. Can the regional trade agreements coming into force this year add up to a comprehensive multilateral trade process?
