- Participants will hold closed-door sessions covering WTO reform, advancing a free trade area, digital trade, AI readiness, and sustainable growth under current global challenges.
- The WTO recently downgraded its global trade forecast from solid growth to decline, while U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer plans a bilateral trade talk with South Korea on Friday.
