30º Aniversario de la firma del Acuerdo de Marrakech

"Hace 30 años, más de 120 países se unieron en torno a una visión común: la transformación del mundo a través del comercio", dijo la Directora General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala en un vídeo registrado para conmemorar el aniversario. "Esos países crearon un nuevo bien público mundial con el compromiso de utilizar el comercio para elevar los niveles de vida de las personas, crear empleo y promover el desarrollo sostenible".

"Countries have used the open and predictable global economy anchored in the World Trade Organization to accelerate growth and development. Over the past three decades, more than 1.5 billion people have been lifted out of extreme poverty, embodying the enduring promise encapsulated in the Marrakesh Agreement."

"As we mark the 30^th anniversary of the WTO, this promise still stands as a beacon. The WTO now counts 164 – soon to be 166 – members. The way we do business across borders has evolved. So have the challenges to sustainability and socioeconomic inclusion. But trade remains a vital tool to solve these challenges and build a brighter future for people around the world."
