The 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) in Abu Dhabi concluded without significant progress on major issues. The conference, which entered its final scheduled day with key topics still unresolved, saw its deadline extended three times in hopes of reaching agreements. Despite the extensions and all-night negotiations, the WTO negotiators released new draft deals that showed several important issues remained deadlocked. The meeting ended early Saturday, only achieving a temporary extension of an e-commerce moratorium, with no agreements on agriculture and fisheries. This outcome casts doubt on the effectiveness of the WTO as a multilateral trade body.
