BRUSSELS (AFP) — Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd on Wednesday stressed there was an "urgent need" to reach a new global trade deal in the months ahead and said such a pact was "doable."
Rudd, making his first visit to the EU headquarters in Brussels, said he and European Union officials had agreed on the need to finalise a new deal amid growing concern over the global economy and before the November US presidential election complicates matters.
"This Doha round (of trade talks) is doable," he told reporters at a joint press conference after talks with EU Commission chief Jose Manuel Barroso.
