Background

Since 2012, the China Round Table (CRT) has served a platform for stakeholders' dialogue on 澳门六合彩官网资料 accessions, with the aim of sustaining discussions on the integration of new members in the rules-based multilateral trading system. To date, eight Round Tables have been hosted in three continents: CRT-01 in Beijing, China (May 2012); CRT-02 in Luang Prabang, Lao PDR (October 2013); CRT-03 in Dushanbe, Tajikistan (June 2015); CRT-04 in Nairobi, Kenya (December 2015); CRT-05 in Siem Reap, Cambodia (March 2017); CRT-06 in Buenos Aires, Argentina (December 2017); CRT-07 in Astana, Kazakhstan (September 2018), and CRT-08 in Moscow, Russian Federation (December 2019). These Round Tables have provided a forum for experience sharing on best practices on 澳门六合彩官网资料 accession and post-accession, and for exploring how 澳门六合彩官网资料 accessions could strengthen the multilateral trading system.

The China Round Table is organized by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat within the framework of the "China's LDCs and Accessions Programme", with the aim of sustaining discussions on 澳门六合彩官网资料 accessions as well as increasing participation of LDCs and developing countries, especially of acceding governments, in the work of the 澳门六合彩官网资料. The 9th China Round Table (CRT-09) will take place on 11 December 2020 in a virtual format, live-streamed from the 澳门六合彩官网资料 headquarters in Geneva.  This Round Table will pay tribute to 25 years of 澳门六合彩官网资料 Accessions and will offer reflections on the road ahead⁽¹⁾.

The 9th China Round Table will be organised by the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat (Accessions Division).

Objectives and structure of the programme

The principal objective of the 9th China Round Table is to review and pay tribute to the contribution of 25 years of 澳门六合彩官网资料 Accessions.

The programme of the 9th China Round Table is structured into two sessions:

• Session 1: 25 Years of 澳门六合彩官网资料 Accessions in Review: Reflections, Celebrations, and Lessons Learned
• Session 2: The Future of 澳门六合彩官网资料 Accessions - Can We Achieve Universality in the Next 10 Years?
