New Date For WTO Ministerial?

The week beginning 19 May seems to be the new target for the much delayed WTO Ministerial meeting. This would be well timed for Minister Goff as he is meant to be in Tokyo 14 and 15 May. The PM will also no doubt be happy to have Phil on a long trip. There is some speculation (from Phil Goff) that if the PM decides to go to the same meeting in Tokyo, that Goff should stay back in New Zealand as he might be superfluous to requirements. Apparently the PM does not agree. She wants Goff with her in Tokyo. Funny that.
