Several said a deal has to be struck in Bali for the economic and development benefits of the deal itself and for the credibility of the WTO. (...) Many members argued that leaving the deal to be concluded in Geneva after the conference would not work since the sticking points could not be resolved in Geneva in the weeks and months before the conference – the remaining issues are political and need ministers’ direct input, they said.
(...) Many said that it is important to reach a deal in Bali to prove that the WTO members are able to achieve a multilaterally negotiated deal.

And the UN's role and presence in this process must be strengthened.
Immense challenges lie ahead of us. Our goal is to ensure that the 21S t century becomes the century where each and everyone live in peace, stability and with growing prosperity. (...) The Security Council has successfully taken on international terrorism and should continue to focus on how to deal with weapons of mass destruction.
Another pressing issue is how to prevent the breakdown of societies and address the root causes of conflicts. And if prevention is unsuccessful, how to deal with the breakdown of social order. A strategic vision on how to deal with the new challenges is urgently needed.

To that extent, allow me to express
appreciation for all the efforts made to facilitate an MC9 deal,
particularly those of DG Roberto Azevedo who has managed to
mobilize delegations to engage in negotiations with renewed
commitment and in good faith.
(...) But we are also aware of the immense
benefits that the MC9 package, consisting of trade facilitation, a set
of agricultural issues and the development pillar, would bring.
(...) We believe
that the WTO can deal with the modern challenges of the world
trade system.
