India is considering bringing together a group of 8-10 member countries of the WTO to prepare an agenda for creation of a conducive atmosphere in Geneva to ensure smooth functioning of the global trade body, a top government official said.

It would be an informal group within the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which may also include nations like Brazil, China, South Africa, China, Indonesia and Columbia. “We are thinking about taking 8-10 countries together to look at a way forward for global trading system. Nobody is suggesting anything, only attacking each other,” said the official.
