Spokesman of Chinese Ministry of Commerce Chong Quan here Friday made a call
to related departments of the United States and the European Union that they
should show their political willingness to push forward the Doha talks.
The United States and the European Union should work out the negotiation
pattern as soon as possible, so as to help the Doha round trade talks to be
concluded by the end of this year, he said at a press conference.
"We are regretful that the just-concluded World Trade Organization (WTO)
informal ministerial meeting in Geneva made no progress," he said.
China insists on the general goal of concluding the Doha talks by the end of
this year, so the negotiation momentum must be maintained, he said.
China always plays a constructive role in the Doha trade talks, willing to
enhance consultations and cooperation with various parties in a bid to end the
Doha talks by the end of this year with an overall achievement of equilibrium,
he said.
