MNI: The World Trade Organization on Thursday said it would reconsider its
decision to hold the 12th Ministerial Conference from June 8-11 in Nur-Sultan in
connection with the current situation of COVID-19 and the WHO declaration of a
pandemic earlier this week.
"It is our considered view that holding MC12 as previously agreed from 8-11 June
will not be feasible," Director-General Roberto Azevedo said in a note to WTO
members.
Azevedo said he and the chair of the General Council will continue to consult
with members and hold a special General Council meeting "as soon as conditions
permit" on how to proceed with revised arrangements.
