20. The Ministers reaffirmed commitment to the World Trade Organization (WTO) as the preeminent global forum for trade, including negotiating and implementing trade rules, settling trade disputes and supporting development through the integration of developing countries into the global trading system. In this regard, they reaffirmed commitment to the Doha Development Agenda as well as to the regular work of the WTO. The Ministers expressed their support for the forthcoming WTO 10th Ministerial Conference to be held in Nairobi, Kenya in December 2015. They underlined the importance of tangible progress at the Conference toward a successful conclusion of the WTO Doha Round.

21. The Ministers noted that the emerging market economies are a significant driving force for the world economic growth and have played an important role in promoting the world economic recovery. The Ministers fully recognized the significance of the UN Summit for the adoption of the Post-2015 Development Agenda to be held in September 2015. They called on the international community to accelerate their efforts towards attainment of the MDGs and formulate the Post-2015 Development Agenda under the principles of equity, democracy, transparency, member states driven and consensus. The Post-2015 Development Agenda, while focusing on poverty eradication and promotion of common development, should attach great importance to addressing the inequality and disparity between the North and the South and build a renewed global development partnership of win-win cooperation. The Ministers pledged to strengthen coordination and cooperation in the inter-governmental negotiating process.

22. The Ministers called on the international community to actively implement the follow-up process of the 2012 United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in accordance with the principle of "common but differentiated responsibilities". They welcomed the adoption by the UN General Assembly of the proposal of the Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals as the main basis for integrating the SDGs into the Post-2015 Development Agenda. They held the view that in promoting sustainable development, the international community should fully respect the national conditions and development paths of different countries, and focus on helping developing countries solve the problems of financing, technology and capacity building and achieve common development.

23. The Ministers reiterated the importance attached by the three countries to the issue of climate change, and expressed their readiness to work together to further strengthen international cooperation to address climate change and its adverse effect. The Ministers welcomed the adoption of the "Lima Call for Climate Action" by the 20th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Conference of the Parties (COP20). They expressed confidence that the 21st session of UNFCCC to be held in 2015 will be able to adopt a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all parties, in accordance with the principles of equity, common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
