The event was chaired by Ambassador Roderick van Schreven (Netherlands), Chairman of the Sub-Committee on LDCs. The discussion took stock of the key developments and decisions taken in favour of LDCs, the institutional support provided to these countries and the trade capacity-building initiatives that have been put in place. The event also looked ahead to how the WTO and the international community can help LDCs overcome the remaining challenges in integrating into the multilateral trading system. This included a discussion of possible measures that could be considered for LDCs at the Tenth WTO Ministerial Conference, to be held in Nairobi in December this year.
