The international trading system faces unprecedented challenges-- a lack of purpose, nonexistent or reluctant leadership, building back from the protectionist scramble brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and the growth of nationalism worldwide, and increasing disruption from digital technology as well as environmental challenges. Rebooting cooperation requires fresh ideas on how to pull ourselves out of the morass. A more inclusive dialogue will not only help us approach current issues through diverse lenses but will also ensure that all stakeholders have a seat at the table. By gathering trade experts from around the world, engaging them in the trade community, and empowering them to have a voice, we can establish a renewed and resilient international trading system that can better anticipate and respond to future disruptions.
