<h1>Rules-based multilateral trading system: call for restored appellate body and development-centred Special & Differential Treatment for developing members.</h1> On multilateral trade policy, the Minister urged preservation of a rules-based, transparent, and inclusive trading system anchored in the Most-Favoured-Nation principle and non-discrimination, calling for restoration of a fully functional two-tier dispute settlement with an operational appellate body. He advanced a development-centred reform agenda requesting meaningful Special & Differential Treatment tied to capacity gaps and development needs, safeguarded policy space and adequate transition periods for developing members, and a permanent solution for Public Stockholding for food security.
