The eight Young Trade Leaders, hailing from six different continents, said they were delighted to be selected for the initiative and stressed their aim to advance a modern, inclusive agenda that meets the needs of young people today. The Director-General urged the Young Trade Leaders to be bold and creative, encouraging them to bring fresh and innovative ideas to the WTO. She also urged them to broaden understanding of the role of trade as a vehicle for sustainable and inclusive development.
