The Doha Development Agenda was first launched at the WTO’s Fourth Ministerial Conference in Doha, Qatar in 2001. In this round, developing countries were assured that their developmental concerns and issues related to market access will be given priority. However, dissatisfaction over the trade liberalisation negotiations deepened as time went by. Developing countries were unhappy that their concerns and needs were marginalised by industrialized countries. This led to the break down of the ministerial meeting at Cancún in September 2003. The collapse led to serious discussions among the members to revive the Round, and as a result, negotiation framework packages were introduced. This is known as the July Package. But, the strategy failed to energize the negotiation process and this was evidenced by the slow progress in reaching consensus on trade negotiation agenda. As the Sixth Ministerial Conference of the WTO in Hong Kong draws closer, concerns were raised on the possible success of the Round. Some analysts even warned that the Doha Round had lost its momentum and that it may come to a standstill.
