The second session was forward looking. It explored future challenges and what needs to be done to ensure trade works even better as a tool for development.
The event was inaugurated by WTO Director-General Roberto Azevêdo and was chaired by Ambassador Christopher Onyanga Aparr (Uganda), Chair of the CTD.
