GENEVA, Nov 30 (Reuters) - This week's World Trade Organisation conference is an opportunity to stress the role of opening up trade in economic growth, U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk said on Monday.
"It's an important opportunity for us to reaffirm the valuable role that liberalising trade around the globe has in sustaining and promoting growth," he told Reuters.
But Kirk emphasised in an interview that enforcement of existing trade agreements was also part of the U.S. administration's strategy for creating jobs.
He said not all of the major emerging economies that the United States sees as key trade partners had accepted Washington's invitation for bilateral negotiations to further the WTO's Doha round, but declined to identify them.
