(Invitation)
As the e-commerce JSI negotiations at the WTO near the completion of their draft legal text, this session serves as a crucial moment to review and assess the current draft. Attendees will receive the latest updates on the negotiations, gain insights into the agreement’s contents, and understand the remaining points of discussion. Additionally, the session will focus on the development goals of the agreement, exploring the expected benefits for developing countries and LDC parties and identifying areas where stronger outcomes may be achieved. This event is exclusively for WTO developing and LDC member government delegates from Geneva and their capitals. Both signatories and non-signatories are welcome, and we encourage sharing this invitation with knowledgeable colleagues who would find the seminar beneficial. –
