导言
This event is closed for G20 and T20 participants or by invitation.
The world economy has enjoyed rapid growth as it has become more and more closely integrated. The world trading system which has supported such growth however is showing growing signs of stress, and the world trading system seems to be approaching a crossroad. The roundtable will discuss three major aspects - digital trade, WTO reform, and trade and investment for sustainable and inclusive growth – to present relevant ideas and recommendations discussed in the T20 trade and investment taskforce on how we should proceed with globalization, as input into the G20 process.
