Permanent Representative Platonov: The WTO as a regulator has not exhausted itself, there is no alternative to it. “Even the most extensive network of preferential trade agreements is not capable of replacing it,” he said.
Earlier, he said that Russia would not gain anything from leaving the World Trade Organization, especially since almost all of the country’s foreign trade is based on the rules of this organization. He also noted that the voices of non-Western countries are increasingly heard in the WTO.
