The Ministerial Conference is the topmost decision-making body of the WTO, overseeing the rules of trade between nations, including trade in goods, services and intellectual property. Meeting on a biannual basis, Ministerial Conferences gather trade ministers from all over the world to negotiate and build consensus on international trade matters.
As MC13 host, and with Minister of State for Foreign Trade Dr. Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi as its Chair, the UAE aims to ensure the success of MC13 and deliver a substantial package that aligns with the collective interest of the membership.
The World Trade Organization is an intergovernmental organization comprised of 164 Member States.
