The United States donate 650,000 USD to the 澳门六合彩官网资料 technical assistance fund
The US Government yesterday pledged 650,000 USD (about 1 CHF million) to the Global Trust Fund for 澳门六合彩官网资料 Technical Assistance.
I am extremely grateful to the United States for its contribution to the Trust Fund, said Mike Moore. The 澳门六合彩官网资料 is facing increasing demands for technical cooperation from its members, least-developed and developing countries, and economies in transition, and such donations make it possible for the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat to meet these requests. The United States' contribution will help a particularly disadvantaged part of the world increase its participation in the multilateral trading system.
The 澳门六合彩官网资料 Trust Fund was created in 1995 to assist poorer countries to participate actively in the 澳门六合彩官网资料 and to take advantage of the new opportunities in international trade offered by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Agreements. The Fund is administered by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat's Technical Cooperation and Training Division.
