The goal of the Hong Kong Trade and Development Symposium was to encourage innovative thinking on trade and development related issues in order to then generate constructive policy recommendations for the Doha Round negotiations. Over 40 organisations, covering the full spectrum of intergovernmental organizations, academic institutions, NGOs and consumer groups took part. This generated varied and nuanced perspectives on the development-related impacts of the current trade agenda as well as building new networks and strengthening of existing relations among the trade and development communities.
