JOHANNESBURG, Nov 21 (Reuters) - The European Union still backs rules-based world trade and will advocate for a stronger reformed and more relevant World Trade Organization at the G20 summit, Ursula Von Der Leyen said on Friday.

She added that the EU is working non-stop to seal trade deals with India, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Thailand, Philippines and Malaysia.
