The United Kingdom Government has contributing GBP 100,000 (approximately CHF 132,000) to help least-developed countries (LDCs) participate in the eleventh WTO Ministerial Conference (MC11), which will take place on 10-13 December 2017 in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
This donation is essential to ensure that the LDCs’ voice is featured prominently in global trade negotiations, thereby helping more people to leverage the opportunities that international trade offers.
Overall, the United Kingdom has donated approximately CHF 12 million to WTO trust funds over the last 15 years.
