WTO Regional Trade Policy Course Underway in Saudi Arabia
A five-day regional training course on trade policy formulation and implementation is currently underway in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, organized by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the Ministry of Commerce and Investment of Saudi Arabia (MCI).
The course, which began on Sunday, May 15 and ends on May 20, has brought together government officials and representatives from the private sector from 13 Arab countries, including Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Palestine, Sudan, Tunisia, and Yemen.
The course is designed to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the principles and provisions of the WTO Agreement and how they can be effectively implemented at the national level. It covers a wide range of topics, including trade policy formulation, trade negotiations, dispute settlement, and trade facilitation.
The course is being delivered by a team of experienced WTO experts and is tailored to the specific needs and challenges of the Arab region. It is part of the WTO’s ongoing efforts to build capacity and support developing countries in their efforts to effectively participate in the multilateral trading system.
In his opening remarks, the Director of the WTO’s Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation, Mr. Shishir Priyadarshi, said that the course is a testament to the WTO’s commitment to supporting its members in building their trade capacity.
“This course is an important opportunity for participants to enhance their understanding of the WTO Agreement and how it can be used to promote economic growth and development,” he said.
Mr. Priyadarshi also thanked the MCI for its support in hosting the course and for its commitment to promoting trade and economic development in the region.
The MCI’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Trade, Mr. Abdulrahman Al-Harbi, said that the course is a valuable opportunity for participants to learn from the WTO’s experts and to share their own experiences.
“We are confident that the participants will benefit greatly from this course and that they will be able to apply the knowledge and skills they acquire to their work in their respective countries,” he said.
The course is part of the WTO’s Regional Trade Policy Courses Programme, which is designed to provide training to government officials and representatives from the private sector in developing countries and economies in transition. The program has been running since 2005 and has so far trained over 5,000 participants from over 150 countries.
