G-6 Agrees To Meet Twice In July After Push From G-8 Leaders

Trade ministers from the U.S. and five other World Trade Organization members have agreed at a meeting today (July 17) to gather again twice this month in Geneva in an effort to push the struggling WTO talks forward. The new meetings were agreed following the G-8 summit in St. Petersburg, where World Trade Organization Director General Pascal Lamy warned that the talks were on the edge of failure.
