Global trade has slowed down due to the crisis, making successful negotiations at the World Trade Organisation's Bali Conference crucial. The talks focus on trade liberalization with a development focus, including agriculture and trade facilitation.

To achieve this, the ongoing Doha Round needs to be concluded with a new set of deliverables that fulfill development commitments, paving the way for a fresh start.
