China hopes WTO's Doha Round of free trade talks will end next year with a "balanced package result," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said in Beijing Tuesday.

Speaking at the regular press conference in Beijing on Tuesday, Qin said that all parties concerned should reach a consensus on all key issues relating to the Doha round in Hong Kong, which is gearing up to hold a ministerial meeting of the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Dec. 13 to lay a foundation for the Doha round in 2006.

Qin said that China will continue to play a "positive and constructive" role in the talks and make the Hong Kong Ministerial meeting a success by joining hands with other WTO members.

The Doha round should make efforts to practically carry forward the process of trade liberalization and essentially increase the opportunity of market access for WTO developing members and take into consideration their problems in the process of trade liberalization.
