<h1>WTO chief urges India to lead reforms to fix dispute settlement, curb tariffs, boost transparency and e-commerce moratorium</h1> The WTO chief called on India to lead reforms of the multilateral trading system, urging members to address dysfunctional areas including the dispute settlement mechanism, tariff rises, non-tariff barriers, transparency and alleged unfair practices. The statement highlights competing concerns from both developed and developing members-such as high unilateral tariffs and domestic policy measures like public stockholding-and urges cooperative reform to preserve rule-based trade alongside bilateral agreements and FTAs.
