The
forward-looking Declaration of the leaders of 21
Asia-Pacific economies that account for nearly half of
world trade is another important reminder that a strong
and active WTO is crucial to economic progress of all
countries, he added.Mr.
Moore also welcomed APEC's call for more market access to
exports of the poorest countries, and cited New Zealand
for being the latest member to join this WTO initiative
for LDCs. He said more than a dozen other members had
announced they were working on market access programmes
for the LDCs, adding that he was following up on these
offers.
