What was agreed at WTO negotiations in Abu Dhabi?

Despite extended talks, WTO negotiators in Abu Dhabi failed to reach agreements on major reforms. They did agree to extend a moratorium on tariffs on digital goods until the next ministerial conference, but discussions on e-commerce were stalled by countries like India and South Africa. Disagreements also persisted on dispute settlement, with the WTO’s top court still hampered by U.S. opposition. No deal was reached on agriculture, particularly regarding India’s push for a permanent solution on public stockholding. Fisheries subsidies, aimed at curbing overfishing, also saw no resolution.
