World Trade Organisation
July 13, 2017
WTO
members reaffirmed their commitment to the Aid for Trade initiative and
to the development dimension of the organization at the closing session
of the Aid for Trade Global Review 2017 on 13 July. They underscored,
in particular, the important role this exercise plays in helping
developing and least developed countries (LDCs) improve their capacities
to connect to global markets and lower trade costs.
“There
has been a great sense of energy around the Global Review – and this is
reflected in the numbers,” WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo said at
the closing session of the three-day event. “Over these 3 days we have
seen over 1,500 attendees, 55 sessions and hundreds of pages of
analysis. We have had a lively and informed debate, looking at the
importance of Aid for Trade, and the direction of the initiative in the
coming years. This high level of interest underlines the significance of
this work.”
