Blair to pledge 'monumental struggle' on trade
Tony Blair pledged himself to a month of intense diplomatic effort to breathe fresh life into the flagging global trade talks, with a call to rich countries to make good on their promises to the world's poor made at the Gleneagles summit four months ago.
Amid fears that a key part of Britain's G8 blueprint for Africa in 2005 is heading for failure at the Hong Kong talks in a month's time, the prime minister will use his annual foreign policy speech at Guildhall in London to commit himself to doing "whatever it takes" in the coming weeks to put the talks back on track.
