Finnish Government has donated EUR 500,000 to support technical assistance and training activities in favour of least-developed countries.
Finland donated to the WTO Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund EUR 500,000 (CHF 785,000). This contribution will be used to finance activities contained in the WTO Annual Technical Assistance Plans targeted at the needs of least-developed countries.
“I am extremely grateful to Finland for financing WTO technical assistance activities,” said WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy.
With a total contribution of CHF 4.3 million since 2001, Finland is the eighth biggest voluntary contributor to WTO's technical assistance and training activities in the context of the Doha Development Agenda.
The Doha Development Agenda Global Trust Fund finances activities which aim to enhance developing countries' participation in the WTO negotiations.
World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations.
At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world's trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to help producers of goods and services, exporters, and importers conduct their business.
