The prime minister, who proposed the meeting during the G20 Summit in London in April, also urged the delegates to bring to the next round of consultation at Geneva 'a spirit of constructive cooperation' if they were to aim for 'practical, pragmatic solutions', the official said.

Manmohan Singh told the ministers that India had an abiding interest in an open, liberal and rule-based global trade regime, and hoped that the success achieved at the Delhi meet would help world leaders in their deliberations at the G-20 summit later this month in Pittsburgh.

Among the key stakeholders who attended the two-day meet here were US Trade Representative Ron Kirk, Brazilian Foreign Trade Minister Celso Amorim, Australian Trade Minister Simon Crean and WTO Director General Pascal Lamy.
