<h1>WTO Official Calls for Reforms to Support Developing Nations, Address Appellate Body Crisis, and Ensure Fair Trade Practices.</h1> At the 12th Ministerial Conference of the WTO, a government official emphasized the need for WTO reforms to support the economic development of developing countries and least developed countries (LDCs). The official highlighted the importance of addressing the crisis at the Appellate Body and ensuring reforms maintain non-discrimination, transparency, and consensus-based decision-making. Special Differential Treatment for developing members was stressed as essential, given the widening gap between developed and developing nations. The official advocated for a balanced and inclusive modernization agenda, suggesting that reform discussions occur within the General Council to preserve the authority of existing WTO bodies.
