"Major trading nations such as the US and the EU have to display leadership and not lay the onus for the Round's success only on developing members," Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath said in a statement here, days before release of the fresh negotiating texts for agriculture and industrial goods.
He said the Doha Round negotiations are "delicately poised". The future course would depend on "whether the member countries that have hitherto largely enjoyed the gains of trade liberalisation are willing to make their legitimate contributions to fulfill the core objective of the Round, which has been termed a development round."
