India should adopt dual-track trade strategy at WTO, say experts

Experts suggest India adopt a dual-track trade strategy. This involves defending World Trade Organisation rules while selectively joining plurilateral talks. Such initiatives shape global trade. India has concerns about plurilateral agreements weakening the multilateral system. However, recalibrating its approach could serve India's economic and strategic interests. Pragmatic, coalition-based approaches are needed to revitalize multilateralism.
