WTO Public Forum

On 15-17 September, the WTO hosted the 2010 Public Forum on ‘The Forces Shaping World Trade’ at its headquarters in Geneva. Against the backdrop of the global economic and financial crisis, yet also looking to the future, the Forum provided a unique opportunity for relevant stakeholders to take stock of the latest developments at the global level that are having an impact on the multilateral trading system, and to identify steps that will contribute towards bolstering international trade flows and strengthening the WTO.
