The fight against terrorism and support for the launch of a new round of WTO talks were high on yesterday's agenda, sources said.
"There was a very strong spirit, the spirit of Shanghai if you will, about the need to try to combat acts of terrorism and how all of our countries are trying to work in the spirit of tolerance and the spirit of the rule of law, to do that," US Trade Representative Robert Zoellick told the Taipei Times.
"This morning's discussion focused a lot on the WTO and APEC's link to it. And [there was] the real unanimous sense about the need to try to get the new round launched because trade liberalization is an economic component to the event," Zoellick added.
