WTO ministerial begins with calls against protectionism

Buenos Aires, Dec11 (UNI) The 11th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organization kicked off in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires with President Mauricio Macri urging all nations to make the multilateral system more efficient because the benefits of trade are not reaching "everyone."
