Nairobi: India is keeping its “fingers crossed” as the uncertainty continues over the fate of the WTO ministerial meeting, with developed countries taking a hard line on issues of public stockholding and a special safeguard mechanism.
Although the talks have entered the final stage of the four-day ministerial, which began on Tuesday, consensus eludes on export subsidy and other issues of interest for developing nations.
There are also rumours that talks could be extended by a day to allow time to trade ministers to reach a workable solution.
With the blame game hotting up on social media, Commerce Minister Nirmala Sitharaman tweeted.
