It was great to meet with the WTO Director General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala alongside my IFPRI colleagues JoeGlauber--IFPRI | @jwglauber.bsky.social and Ruth Hill this week to discuss the work IFPRI is doing on agricultural trade negotiations with the @WTO. I look forward to many more productive discussions.

Enjoyed an engaging trip to Beijing last week for the joint launch of #GFPR2025 and the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences flagship report. It was also a pleasure to meet with the IFPRI Beijing office, former DG Shenggen Fan, and leaders of the DRC, CAU, and IAED.
