Dates fixed for WTO’s 12th Ministerial Conference

Publish Date: 
19 Apr 2021

The World Trade Organization (WTO) 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12) will take place from 30 November to 3 December 2021 in Geneva, Switzerland, the chair of the organisation’s General Council confirmed on 16 April.

The MC, which is attended by trade ministers and other senior officials from the organisation’s 164 members, is the highest decision-making body of the WTO. MC12 was originally scheduled to take place from 08 to 11 June 2020 in Kazakhstan's capital, Nur-Sultan, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

MC12 will be chaired by Kazakhstan's Minister of Trade and Integration, as approved by WTO members in December 2019.

This will be the fourth time that the Ministerial Conference will be hosted by Geneva, where the headquarters of the WTO are located.  Previous meetings took place in Geneva in 1998, 2009 and 2011.

Information on accreditation and other arrangements for MC12 will be made available on the WTO website in due course.
