"I don't think the Doha round has failed. I think that there have been difficulties and when there are difficulties it's better to stop and rethink how to continue," said Lula during his weekly broadcast program "Breakfast with the President."
He added it was possible to take advantage of the advances so far, and at the political level "to cut into those existing small differences which impeded an agreement" at the recent WTO (World Trade Organization) Geneva ministerial meeting.
Mercopress reports that Lula revealed he held a phone conversation with US president George W. Bush and that while in Beijing for the inauguration of the Olympic Games he would talk with Chinese president Hu Jintao and on the phone to India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
