Session Document

With the Agreement on Trade Facilitation of the World Trade Organization now in place, and building on the mandate of UNCTAD in trade and transport logistics, some of the most compelling issues and challenges faced by developing countries in improving their participation in international trade will be addressed. Such issues may affect the different categories of developing countries in various ways, and the challenges before them will vary in nature and scope. Possible responses will depend on a given country's geographical situation, circumstances and stage of development. UNCTAD has actively carried out work under these three pillars as well as over nearly a decade and a half; and has developed analytical and technical assistance capacities and the expertise to understand and deal with some of the key pertinent questions.
