Angela Merkel wants globalization push

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said that Western leaders must convince voters of the benefits of globalization.

She also warned of the flip side of globalization. What was an opportunity for some translated into fear for others, said Ms Merkel, whose country currently holds the EU presidency.

She called on politicians to create a framework that ensures globalization will be fair for everyone.

Trade ministers from more than 30 countries, meeting on the sidelines of Davos, and the German chancellor expressed hope that they could give a fresh impulse to trade liberalization, which she said would benefit everyone.
