| World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director General Pascal Lamy met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday and sought `concessions' from India to revive the stalled Doha Round of negotiations. During a 30-minute meeting, he also briefed the Prime Minister about the fresh efforts being made globally to restart the Doha Round. "I got the feeling that the WTO is very much on his radar,'' Mr. Lamy said.
The meeting comes days before 30 countries meet in Switzerland to examine the possibility of reviving the Doha Round. The last WTO meeting July last year had collapsed as several countries, including the U.S., remained stuck on their positions on agriculture subsidies.
Mr. Lamy wanted the major players at the WTO, including India and Brazil, to be more flexible during any future round of negotiations, official sources said.
