My thanks would also go to the Director-General of the World Trade Organization and his colleagues at the Secretariat for organizing this important event. Due to the current economic crisis which has seriously affected world production and trade, almost all countries are facing various difficulties. The severity and enormity of the crisis have forced most countries and international organizations, including the ϲʹ, to mobilize their efforts for harnessing it. It is now well recognized that managing the crisis, preventing the spread of mutually destructive protectionism, and pre-empting the recurrence of similar crises require equitable global governance based on the participation of all countries. Further, in order to play an effective role, major international organizations, such as ϲʹ, are required to appropriately respond to such crises in a proactive and flexible manner and play their roles effectively. Multilateral Trading System constitutes a pillar of the global governance, reinforcement of which together with the development of a rule-based, equitable, transparent and predictable environment could largely preclude unilateral and protectionist measures precipitating international crises. It is now ever more evident that this system will not succeed without a universal participation based on equity and justice. At present, global peace and prosperity are indivisible like our globalized world itself. Therefore, interests and needs of all countries, developed as well as developing ones, should be properly addressed in global governance. Mr. Chairman, We also believe that, in the ϲʹ, including the Doha Round, the needs and interests of developing countries should be given more attention, a balance should be struck between their rights and obligations, and the imposition of unfair and strict commitments on acceding countries should be avoided, noting the difficulty of negotiation with a large number of member countries on many issues. Furthermore, strengthening of technical cooperation and capacity building activities for developing countries are required. Mr. Chairman, In conclusion, I would like to inform you of the preparedness of the Islamic Republic of Iran for the commencement of accession negotiations. The Memorandum of our Foreign Trade Regime has been submitted to the ϲʹ Secretariat and we expect that the accession negotiations would soon be started within the working party. I hope that we enjoy the cooperation and support of all ϲʹ Members during the lengthy and complicated process. We expect that non-economic factors will not adversely affect the accession of countries. I thank you.
