WHO member states were able to come to an agreement on tobacco control, and therefore it is possible that other factors, including common challenges for regulating the industry, can provide sufficient impetus for success in global health diplomacy for chronic disease prevention. To address the problems related to global marketing and advertising of tobacco products and the pressure from multinationals on national governments to curb regulatory actions, the WHO and its member governments, supported by a number of non-governmental actors, promoted the development of a multilateral treaty. 26 Based on these lessons, we conclude that global health diplomacy for obesity prevention requires a much higher level of mobilisation of political leaders, civil society organisations, governments and non-state actors in developing countries, and engagement with the many private actors in the agri-food industries before healthy diet proponents are ready to negotiate a treaty similar to the FCTC.	./cache/cord-006163-37bnj3s3.txt	./txt/cord-006163-37bnj3s3.txt
