Nepali delegation led by Minister for Industry, Commerce, and Supplies Dilendra Prasad Badu arrived in Geneva, Switzerland on June 11, to attend the 12th ministerial conference that will take place on 12-15 June 2022.
Minister Badu is accompanied by secretary Ganesh Prasad Pandeya and other high-level government officials. Minister Badu is scheduled to address the meeting.
Ministers from across the world will have the opportunity to review the functioning of the multilateral trading system, make general statements, and take action on the future work of the WTO.
The Conference will be co-hosted by Kazakhstan and chaired by Timur Suleimenov, Deputy Chief of Staff of Kazakhstan's President. Kazakhstan was originally scheduled to host MC12 in June 2020 but the conference was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. WTO meeting is taking place in the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic that battered the world economy and the Russia-Ukraine war which has triggered high inflation across the world.
