Doha Round

The Doha Round was a series of international trade negotiations launched in 2001 under the World Trade Organization (WTO). Its goal was to help developing countries develop economically by reducing barriers to trade, such as tariffs and subsidies. The talks aimed to promote global economic growth and fairer trading conditions, focusing on issues like agriculture, manufacturing, and services. However, progress was slow due to disagreements among countries about how to share the benefits and reduce obstacles. The Doha Round remains incomplete, but it significantly influenced global trade policies and discussions about economic development.
