At WTO meet, Prabhu seeks cut in large farm subsidies of developed nations

A two-day 'mini-ministerial' meet was organised in Morocco to agree on an agenda for the December summit

Commerce and Industry Minister Suresh Prabhu, commerce and industry minister, has called for a permanent solution on the issue of public stockholding of foodgrain, at the Ministerial Conference in Argentine this December of the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

At the WTO 'mini-ministerial' meet in Morocco ending on Tuesday, the Indian government reiterated its stance saying, issues from the Doha Development Agenda needed to be uniformly reaffirmed.

In his first brush with the WTO system and the 35 trade ministers from key economies, after taking charge as the country's commerce minister last month, Prabhu led discussions on behalf of developing economies.
