H.E. Ambassador Burhan Gafoor of Singapore, who facilitated the informal open-ended consultations that led to the agreed outcome, said :

I would commend this document for approval by the Trade and Development Board, in the form that it has been tabled and without any amendments. It is not a perfect document but it represents a balance of different perspectives. I believe the agreed outcome also represents a small step forward in the discussions on the Report of the Eminent Persons Report

The challenge now is to translate these recommendations into concrete outcomes and, thus, achieve practical results.
