Trade is the all-but-forgotten weapon in the battle against poverty, but it can provide more help to the poor than aid can. If rich countries – in particular, the United States, the 25 members of the EU, and Japan – really want to help poor people, they will open their markets to what poor countries produce, especially textiles, apparel, agricultural products, and commodities.
贸易是在这场抗贫困战争中几乎已经被忘却的武器，但是它却比援助更能帮助贫困人口。如果富有国家——特别是美国、欧盟的25个成员国和日本——真心诚意地想要帮助贫困人口，他们应该向贫困国家的产品开放他们的市场，尤其是纺织品、服装、农产品和日用品。
