According to the Summit agenda outlining the thrust of the session to be addressed by the Minister: “International trade assumes a new definition as more and more nations move towards borderless trade, entering into Free Trade Areas (FTAs) and assigning MFN status to partner countries. How will this affect the global trade scenario? What role do emerging markets have to play in the international trade scenario in the next few years? Can they come together as one strong voice?”.
