Kenya's Amina Mohammed to push for reduced trade tariffs in upcoming WTO meeting

Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohammed

Kenya is rooting for discussions to reduce high tariffs that make trade in agriculture expensive during the coming World Trade Organization 10th Ministerial (WTO MC 10) meeting in Nairobi.

Addressing a meeting of African Union Trade Ministers and Africa, Caribbean and Pacific group (ACP) in Brussels last week, Foreign Affairs Cabinet Secretary Ambassador Amina Mohammed said a successful outcome of the WTO (MC10) must include a work programme that is realistic, balanced and that also modernises the WTO negotiating agenda.
