You have promised relief to India’s farmers during your very first visit, to Andhra Pradesh to meet families of farmers who had taken their lives due to indebtedness.

Bhurban, 9-10 September 2005
1. The G-201 Ministers at their meeting in Bhurban, Pakistan on 9-10 September 2005 reaffirmed their commitment to the multilateral trading and to the ongoing negotiations on Agriculture, which are central to the Doha Development Agenda. They reiterated their commitment to conclude the DDA negotiations in 2006 in a manner that furthers their common goal of eliminating trade-distorting policies in agriculture maintained by developed countries, and providing for substantial improvement in market access for all products, in line with the level of ambition set out in the Doha Ministerial Declaration.

Response to the G20 Ministerial Meeting in Pakistan (8-10 September 2005)
Focus on the Global South, India, September 2005
1. The next Ministerial Meeting of the G20* will be held in an exclusive hill resort off Islamabad from 8-10 September 2005. The Islamabad meeting is important for several reasons. It follows the unsuccessful WTO GC (General Council) meeting in Geneva in July 2005. Pascal Lamy assumes office as Director General of the WTO from September and will begin intense consultations with groups such as the G20 for a Draft Hong Kong Declaration, which he will attempt to have ready by the next GC meeting in October 2005. Agriculture has the potential to make or break the Doha round and the G20 will play a central role in this drama.
