MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE 
Seventh Session Geneva, 30 November - 2 December 2009 Original:   English 
 
  
BANGLADESH 
 
Statement by H.E. Mr. Muhammad Faruk Khan 
 
Honourable Minister for Commerce  
 
Revision  
  
 We have gathered here at a very critical j uncture of the world economy. The global financial 
crisis coupled with the impact of climate change threatens our existence more than ever. While the 
scenario is common to all WTO members in varying degrees, it is distinctly scaring for LDCs like Bangladesh where the challenges are extremely daun ting. Our exports in the last quarter have 
experienced a slump of around 12%, export of textile  and apparels which cons titutes 80% of our total 
export has declined by 27%.  Number of workers going abroad has declined by a drastic 40%. All 
these are manifestations of a gloom that looms heavily on us.  
  We need the sincere support and cooperation of our development partners. They must deliver 
on their commitments made at various inte rnational fora, including G20 Summit.  
 
 We observe with deep frustration that delay in DDA outcome is denying the LDCs of DFQF 
market access. Therefore, we call upon Members to  sincerely engage for conclusion of Doha Round 
by 2010.    Undoubtedly, Bangladesh affected by economic meltdown, climate change and many other 
problems which are not our creation. We are thus  one of the most disproportionately affected 
countries. Therefore, we urge WTO Members to work towards a balanced outcome in addressing 
DAC issue while respecting the develo pment dimension which is the centr epiece of the current round.  
  Bangladesh fully endorses the statement made by  Tanzania on behalf of LDCs. We need to 
ensure that: 
 
 all LDCs get more preferential treatment than non-LDCs,   address the issues of concern to LDCs on a prio rity basis and to have an "early harvest" on 
DFQF market access, services waiver and cotton issue.  
 
 In this regard, there must be clarity on DF QF both on product coverage of 97 per cent and the 
phasing in of the remaining 3 per cent well before the conclusion of the Round.   WT/MIN(09)/ST/33/Rev.1 
Page 2  
 
   Over the last two days, I heard my colleagu es committing to early conclusion of Doha Round, 
DFQF market access and services waiver for LDCs, ensuring food and environmental securities and 
many more. Echoes of goodwill resoun ded in this hall, time and again. I came here assuming to attend 
a routine WTO conference. But I shall go back with high hopes. And I shall carry with me the synergy 
and energy of this august gathering for my pe ople in Bangladesh, my parliament and Bangladesh 
government. Our collective efforts in Geneva in the days beyond this conference have to ensure that 
we have not given illusive hope, once again, to our people.
