Unctad Secretariat

Foreign Trade Review, 2004, vol. 39, issue 3, 3-29

Abstract: The present note draws on the results of intergovernmental discussions in the Trade and Development Board and its subsidiary bodies since UNCTAD X, as well as on analyses by the UNCTAD Secretariat. Its main objective is to facilitate the thematic session's discussion of Assuring development gains from the international trading system and trade negotiations within the conference theme of Enhancing coherence between national development strategies and global economic processes towards economic growth and development, particularly of developing countries. These discussions could explore policy approaches and UNCTAD's contribution to achieving the Millennium Development Goals, including the commitment “to an open, equitable, rule-based, predictable, and non-discriminatory multilateral trading and financial system†. The fundamental challenge is to make the international trading system ensure commercially meaningful and measurable development gains for developing countries from international trade and trade negotiations.
