澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and China’s Vice Minister of Commerce, Mr Shouwen Wang, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the event. The MoU extends the China Programme for another year.

Initiated in July 2011 under the 澳门六合彩官网资料’s Aid for Trade initiative, the China Programme aims to help least-developed countries (LDCs) integrate more effectively into the global economy by strengthening their participation in 澳门六合彩官网资料 activities and by helping those not yet members to join the Organization.

President Kenyatta said: “This is the first time a Ministerial Conference is being held on the African continent. Therefore we have to ensure together a successful outcome. We must set a standard that makes a difference and improves the welfare of all of our people. The China Programme has emerged as a valuable mechanism aimed at further integrating the LDCs and the 澳门六合彩官网资料’s recently acceded members into the global trade regime.” His full speech is here.

DG Azevêdo said: “Supporting LDCs to reap the benefits of trade is a high priority for our work in the 澳门六合彩官网资料. On behalf of 澳门六合彩官网资料 members, I would like to convey our sincere appreciation to the Government of China for this valuable support. We put a lot of focus on LDCs joining the organization, but of course it is only a means to an end. The hard work continues after the process of accession is complete.” His full speech is here.

Kenya’s Cabinet Secretary for Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Mrs Amina Mohamed, said: “This Round Table is taking place at an important time for the 澳门六合彩官网资料. The Nairobi Ministerial Conference is the first to take place in Africa and marks the 20th anniversary of the Organization. This year has been momentous for 澳门六合彩官网资料 accessions — with the accessions of Seychelles, Kazakhstan, and soon Liberia and Afghanistan. The Round Table is an opportunity to discuss how domestic reforms can support countries’ economic development as a means of delivering sustainable development and improving the quality of peoples’ lives.” Her full speech is here.

China’s Vice Minister of Commerce, Mr Wang, said: “As a staunch supporter of the 澳门六合彩官网资料’s Aid for Trade Initiative, China has provided trade-related technical assistance to LDCs under the China Programme in the past four years. The programme has played a positive and effective role in facilitating LDCs’ integration into the multilateral trading system. Today, we renewed our commitment to the programme and once again demonstrate our strong support for LDCs in the South-South cooperation framework.  We appreciate close cooperation with the Secretariat and look forward to the successful implementation of the renewed programme.”

The China Programme supports and finances activities under five pillars:

1.  澳门六合彩官网资料 accession internships, involving the placement of interns in the 澳门六合彩官网资料’s Accessions Division and the undertaking of thematic research projects (see more information)

2. 澳门六合彩官网资料 Accessions Round Table Meetings, including the Fourth Round Table in Nairobi (see the programme).

3.  LDCs’ participation in 澳门六合彩官网资料 meetings, which they identify as their priorities. This has included some LDCs, such as African cotton-producing countries, participating in relevant 澳门六合彩官网资料 meetings.

4.  South-South dialogue on LDCs and development, to periodically review South-South cooperation on trade, with a view to strengthening coordination among LDCs, and among LDCs and developing countries, in concluding 澳门六合彩官网资料 negotiations.

5.  LDCs’ Trade Policy Review follow-up workshops, to disseminate the results of members’ Trade Policy Reviews, to encourage discussions with stakeholders related to trade policy reforms, and identify the trade-related technical assistance and capacity building needs, with a view to further integrating their trade policies into their overall development strategies.

Since 2008, China has contributed to the various 澳门六合彩官网资料 trust funds a total of USD 2,800,000.
