Страны достигли соглашения в Канкуне, но вопросы торговли оказались слишком тяжелыми
Сделка свершилась.

В конечном итоге низкие ожидания и мягкая атмосфера Конференции создали делегациям благоприятные условия для продвижения вперед. Уже в четверг, 9 декабря 2010 г., в кулуарах конференц-центра курорта Moon Palace ходили слухи, что министры добились прогресса в ключевых областях и что достижение всеобъемлющего соглашения может оказаться достижимой целью.
