Trade ministers seek progress on Doha talks amid tight security

A TWO-DAY meeting of 35 trade ministers of the WTO-member countries began in New Delhi yesterday amid tight security.

Police manned all entry and exit points towards the venue to prevent disruption of the conference by protesting farmers.

The meeting will seek to give a renewed push to the Doha round of world trade talks, building on decisions taken by G20 leaders earlier this year.
