STATEMENT  BY REBECA HERNÁNDEZ TOLEDO, CHARGE D'AFFAIRES, IN A DEBATE ON THE WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION REFORM PROCESS. GENEVA, NOVEMBER 4, 2025.

Mr. Co-Facilitator,

We appreciate the updates on the outcomes of the informal meetings where a small group of countries was convened and the opportunity given to the rest of the members in this plenary session to discuss an important process such as the WTO reform process.

We live in complex times, marked by an unfair international economic order that has not proven to be an effective way to fulfill our right to development.

Mr. President:
