World Trade Organization members on Tuesday (9 March) urged its director-general, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, to hold talks with COVID-19 vaccine developers and manufacturers to scale up production, a document signed by seven members and seen by Reuters showed, writes Emma Farge.

“The WTO should rapidly make use of its resources to the full extent to foster a prompt, pragmatic and tangible acceleration in the global response to COVID-19, and particularly the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccines,” said the communication, which was dated March 9 and co-sponsored by Australia, Canada, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand, Norway and Turkey.
