Win-win reforms expected for WTO

Necessary reforms of the World Trade Organization should leave basic principles of trade liberalization unchanged and take into consideration developing countries' reasonable demands, the Ministry of Commerce said on Thursday.

Such reforms, a step-by-step process, should be based on mutual respect and benefits, ministry spokesman Gao Feng said at a news conference.

He said China will support the multilateral trading system in its keeping pace with the times, as this principle of the WTO has always played an irreplaceable role in opposing protectionism.
