From September 2005 to August 2013, Lamy served as the Director General of the World Trade Organization for two consecutive terms. Lamy believes that the most important achievement of the WTO is to include China, which will benefit more countries from the opening up of the Chinese market. The growth of the Chinese economy is beneficial to everyone.
