African Trade Ministers meeting on 27-28 May in Kigali, Rwanda, have issued a "Kigali Consensus" on the World Trade Organisation welcoming the emerging consensus to drop from the work programme the three Singapore issues of investment, competition and transparency in government procurement. They stressed that they "have been consistently concerned with the potential serious implications of the Singapore issues on African economies," but that they had remained engaged in the discussions.
