ACCRA, April 20 (Reuters) - A breakthrough in global trade talks is achievable in the next few weeks, World Trade Organisation (WTO) Director-General Pascal Lamy said on Sunday.

"At a time when a breakthrough in these negotiations is doable in the next weeks, we are hopeful that this conference will help to get it done," Lamy told a U.N. trade and development meeting in Accra, Ghana. (Reporting by Daniel Flynn; Writing by Pascal Fletcher; Editing by Jon Boyle)
