NGOs hold demo and oppose 'new issues' in WTO’s talks agenda

NAIROBI: Non-governmental organisations attending the 10th World Trade Organisation Ministerial Conference in Nairobi have opposed the inclusion of "new issues" at the negotiating table by the developed countries.

Tuesday, the most radical of the NGOs, like the Southern and Eastern African Trade Information and Negotiation Institute (SEATINI), held a public demonstration outside the talks' venue demanding for collapse of the talks and seeking reform of the WTO.
