FMG Trade Policy Preview(TP-P) Initiative - 15th Series: India
Given the continuous challenges confronted by the multilateral trading system, including
geopolitical tensions, and renewed dynamism among members on WTO reform across the
board of its functions, FMG is committed to further its efforts to promote mutual understanding through meaningful dialogue among members, especially the major ones.
For that purpose, FMG has launched the brainstorming initiative titled "Trade Policy
Preview" (TP-P) to host a candid and forward-looking dialogue on trade policy trends of key
players of the WTO and their implications on the WTO reform discussions. Previous TP-P sessions organized by FMG, shortly before the normal Trade Policy Review (TPR) of some WTO Members, could be found:

FMG is most glad to organize a TP-P session on India in July 2026.

FMG Webinar on MC14 and WTO reform
The outcomes of MC14 and the state of WTO reform remain central to discussions on the future of the multilateral trading system. While the Ministerial Conference delivered certain results, significant disagreements persist on key issues such as dispute settlement, digital trade, and development.
These unresolved questions point to a broader reality: WTO reform is not advancing at the same pace or in the same direction across all members. Understanding where reform currently stands — and what pathways remain viable — requires careful examination.
FMG is pleased to host this webinar to assess the outcomes of MC14, take stock of the current state of WTO reform, and explore potential ways forward.

FMG Webinar on WTO Ministerial Conferences-Lessons to Learn from the History
The outcomes of MC14 and the state of WTO reform remain central to discussions on the future of the multilateral trading system. But beyond the substance, the process by which ministerial conferences are prepared and run—ranging from the roles of the General Council Chair and the TNC Chair to the use of informal consultations—has a profound impact on what can be achieved.
Against this backdrop, this webinar aims not to assess the outcome of MC14 in isolation, but to take a step back and examine the process of WTO ministerial conferences: how they have evolved, what institutional dynamics shape them, and what lessons can be drawn from past experiences—including the Uruguay Round, MC5 in Cancun, and MC14.
Understanding where reform currently stands—and what pathways remain viable—requires careful examination of these procedural realities. That is precisely what we hope to unpack today.
FMG is pleased to host this discussion to explore the process of WTO ministerial conferences, and to reflect on what they tell us about the state and direction of WTO reform.
