Work at the World Trade Organization (WTO) requires both confidence and patience, Wang Wentao, China's minister of commerce, said at the press conference on the economy for the second session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing on Wednesday.

Wang attended the WTO's 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) that took place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, last week. He recalled that the "1+10" pragmatic outcomes were reached at the conference.

"Most of the members were convinced that this is another major victory for multilateralism," Wang said, answering questions from CGTN. "These outcomes were a boost to the world's confidence in multilateral trading system."
