The three-day event provided an opportunity for civil society and the public at large to debate the challenges faced by the multilateral community and to contribute ideas on how to move forward. Debates were structured around three sub-themes: formulating new approaches to multilateral trade opening; addressing 21st-century issues and identifying areas in need of new regulations, or which offer scope for future rule-making; and looking at the role of non-state actors in strengthening the multilateral trading system.
