Emergence of India in WTO: Voice of Developing Nations

Abstract

India has played a vital and dominant role in the WTO; thus becoming one of the most influential voice
representing developing and least-developed countries. The WTO has created a triangle that is batting in India's
favour because of its fair, inclusive and development-oriented multilateral trading system. India reiterates its
position that the dispute resolution system completely restored and that all members’ countries receive equal
treatment as per the rules. India has brought up fairness, the right to pursue national policies and the necessities
of developing nations in respect of topics like fisheries subsidies, e-commerce taxes and intellectual property,
which are current discussions. Through active negotiation, coalition building and principled advocacy, India has
succeeded in becoming the strongest voice for the Global South and has thus been able to push for the
transformation of the global trading system into one that is fairer, more development-oriented and more
inclusive. India has not only been a strong and clear negotiator in the global trade talks during this period but
has also been the voice for justice, development-oriented reforms and the necessary power for change in the
emerging economies.
