When ministers and other delegates filed out of the World Trade Organization's Council Room on 17 June, night was giving way to dawn in Geneva. WTO members had just gavelled a historic package of results after five and a half days of intense and sometimes fraught negotiations. Let's Talk Trade looks at the outcomes produced during the Twelfth Ministerial Conference and how they came about.
In this first episode, Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala gives an overview what is being called the "Geneva package" and insights into her efforts to bring the 164 WTO members together to support the deal in a conversation with WTO spokesperson Daniel Pruzin.
