GENEVA The World Trade Organisation (WTO) kicked off a ministerial meeting on Thursday aimed at breathing life into drawn-out negotiations towards banning subsidies that favour overfishing, but numerous sticking points remain.
Before the meeting, WTO chief Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala voiced cautious optimism that trade ministers from the organisation s 164 member states could finally move towards clinching a historic agreement after 20 years of negotiations.

The trade body has not reached a global deal in years and Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, who took office in March, aims to reach agreement by year-end in what will be a key test for its credibility with members deadlocked on other fronts.
