Director-General
Mike Moore welcomed the growing interest by LDCs for
these special courses, citing a record number of
participants this year. He said that these courses are a
specific follow-up to the 1997 WTO High Level Meeting on
Integrated Initiatives for LDCs. “We have been able
to expand participation this year, despite limited
resources, and we will be doing our utmost in the future
to meet the growing demand,” he added.Mr.
Moore also noted that, for the first time, the WTO
Secretariat has invited three regional Secretariats from
regions with concentrations of LDCs to participate in the
course. These are the United Nations Commission for
Africa (UNECA), the United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the Forum
Secretariat (FORSEC). “I am sure the participants
will appreciate the knowledge and insights that these
organizations can bring to the course,” he said.
