This new donation brings Liechtenstein’s total contributions up to CHF 400,000 since 2002.

“Liechtenstein’s donation is most welcome as it will help to build a balanced multilateral trading system through an increased participation of developing countries and least-developed countries. Through the Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund, the WTO is working towards facilitating their integration into the world economy,” declared WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo.

Liechtenstein’s Ambassador, Norbert Frick, said: “Liechtenstein has continuously supported WTO trade-related technical assistance to developing and least-developed countries. This assistance package will enhance the WTO’s programmes and help developing countries to develop their trade capacity and make full use of the multilateral trading system.”
