As WTO Members prepare for the 14th Ministerial Conference (MC14) in Cameroon this March, WITA International is launching a new global webinar series: WTO Matters. The series will explore the core functions of the WTO, reforms needed to keep the institution effective and relevant, and the key policy issues shaping debates.

The February 13 webinar will continue our conversation on reform and feature perspectives from WTO ambassadors representing a cross-section of the membership, offering insights into priorities heading into MC14 and the path forward for the organization.  Among the topics we expect to discuss at this event is the reform proposal submitted by the EU in January, 2026.  This event follows-on the event WITA hosted on February 4, 2026, with additional WTO nations.

Ambassador Sung-yo Choi, Deputy Permanent Representative of the Republic of Korea to the World Trade Organization
