As part of the
complementary and growing relationship between UNCTAD and the WTO, the heads of the two
organizations met informally Thursday (17 October) to build on their preparatory efforts
for the forthcoming meeting of ministers from least-developed countries.Rubens Ricupero,
Secretary-General of UNCTAD, and Renato Ruggiero, Director-General of the WTO, focused
their efforts on creating a successful framework for the ministerial meeting which has
been organized by the WTO Secretariat and will be held in Geneva from 13 to
15 November 1996.
The meeting
was the latest collaborative effort involving the two organizations and was held in a
cooperative spirit reflective of the strong relationship that has grown between UNCTAD and
the WTO. UNCTAD and WTO are working more and more in tandem on a range of issues of
interest to their members. |
