The China round of World Trade Organisation (WTO) mini-ministerial meet agreed to push forward Bangladesh's motion seeking unfettered temporary movement of natural persons at the forthcoming world trade talks scheduled for December 13-18 in Hong Kong, reports UNB.

"No participating country gave veto or argued against Bangladesh's strong position on the vital issue of temporary movement of natural persons," a Commerce Ministry official told the news agency on the basis of a massage received in Dhaka Thursday.

A three-member Bangladesh team led by Commerce Minister Altaf Hossain Chowdhury represented the country in the mini-ministerial meet that concluded in the northeastern Chinese city of Dalian Thursday.

Its what we've been saying for quite some time.

What does the CAFTA say about following our obligations to the WTO? It appears the WTO and third world countries are about to release a flood of illegal immigrants on the "rich countries". The Least Developed Countries under the aegis of the WTO, want to take our money to bolster the economies of their home countries. They don't want to stay home and make their countries "rich".
