Under the theme, Towards a Dynamic Community for Sustainable Development and Prosperity, agenda items for the meetings are likely to include actions to respond to the expanding and increasingly complex global economy and business landscape and establishing a common position to inject momentum into the stalled WTO DDA negotiations. Discussions are also expected to cover regional concerns ranging from terrorism to sustainable development. |
