Mr. Paul
Rolian, Director of the Institute for Training and Technical Cooperation
(ITTC), today welcomed the participants in the 25th WTO Trade Policy
Course on the occasion of the opening session. Thirty government
officials from the Caribbean, Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe,
Africa, Middle-East and Asia-Pacific will have the opportunity to
increase their understanding of the WTO, its rules and its functioning.
Being immersed in the work done at the WTO Headquarters, the
participants will have an ideal opportunity to learn, in an "hands on"
way, the functioning of the WTO. This comes at a crucial stage of the
preparation for the next session of the Ministerial Conference which
will take place in Cancun, Mexico, in September this year.
The 12-week course will consist of presentations, simulation exercises, attendance at WTO meetings, debates and visits to other international organizations active in WTO-related issues. Sessions will be held in English.
The 25th TPC is the third one organized this year at the WTO Headquarters. A similar programme is currently being conducted in Kenya, in partnership with the University of Nairobi. This year, one more TPC will be held, in Geneva, for Spanish-speaking participants between September and December, while another regional TPC is in preparation for French-speaking African countries.
Shorter introduction courses as well as a range of specialized courses will complement the training activities conducted under the mandate of the ITTC in 2003.
