Biography:
Michael Kenneth Moore was the Prime Minister of New Zealand in 1990 and served as the Director-General of the WTO from 1999 to 2002.
Trade has been a key interest in Mr. Moore's career. He was the longest serving member of the New Zealand Parliamentary Select Committee on Foreign Affairs and Trade. As Minister of Overseas Trade and Marketing, he led trade missions to Australia, Japan, China, South-East Asia, the Middle East, Western and Central Europe, Russia, South America, Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and Turkey. Mr. Moore advanced New Zealand's Closer Economic
Relations trade treaty with Australia and promoted a trade treaty with vulnerable small South Pacific Island nations who, because of their stage of development, needed special and differential treatment into the New Zealand
market.
Mr. Moore has long been an active participant in international discussions on trade liberalisation. As Minister of Overseas Trade and Marketing, he played a leading role in launching the Uruguay Round of GATT negotiations. He was a member the International Eminent Persons Group on World Trade (formed in 1989 to press for a successful outcome to the Uruguay Round, made up of 14 influential political and business leaders from around the world). He attended key WTO meetings including in Punta Del Este (1986), Montreal (1988), Brussels (1990), and Marrakesh (1994). |
