“As the WTO commences its 13th Ministerial Meeting with the hope of saving itself from irrelevance, we insist that all governments frustrated by its dysfunctionality join us in building an alternative. We will build this framework through patient consultations and advocacy with all our communities. This journey must begin now with no time to waste to ensure the future security and enjoyment of life for humanity”
