Commerce Minister Suresh Prabhu pitched for inclusion of the trade facilitation pact on services in the World Trade Organisation (WTO) saying it would help promote growth of the global economy.

“We are working on trade facilitation in the services sector at WTO. We feel WTO will not be doing full justice to the economic development of the world unless services sectors are taken on board, he said. He was speaking at the inauguration of the Global Exhibition on Services, organised by the Commerce Ministry and the CII. The proposed pact would help professionals move smoothly from one place to another.
