Congratulations @NOIweala on starting a second term at the helm of the @WTO. I look forward to continuing to work closely together to make real progress on the trade issues that matter to us all – agriculture, fisheries, digital trade, and more.

Delighted to celebrate 30 years of the @WTO Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures last week. The SPS Agreement delivers benefits to NZ and worldwide by facilitating trade in safe food. Here’s to 30 more years of SPS cooperation! #NZWTO
