The Forum will bring together leaders from governments, donors, international organizations, business and academia to foster trade action in Least Developed Countries (LDCs) and inspire deeper collaborations and commitments in support of further LDC integration into global and regional trade. 2018 is a turning point for LDCs and trade, with a growing trade gap between developed nations and the world’s poorest countries and increasing instability in the world economy. The momentum we generate this year must lead to further integration of LDCs into trade at multiple scales into the future. At the Forum, leaders and practitioners from around the world will share what they have achieved on trade development in LDCs to date, with Aid for Trade complementing national initiatives, and will commit to doing more to ensure LDCs integrate and benefit from global trade. It will culminate in a call to action to leverage trade to combat poverty and inequality and to create a more inclusive trading system.
EN The reception will mark the call to action to leverage trade to combat poverty and inequality in LDCs. It will also pay tribute to the EIF's 10th anniversary by featuring a short video celebrating results and identifying the remaining challenges after a decade of hard work.
FR La réception célébrera l'appel à mettre le commerce au service de la lutte contre la pauvreté et les inégalités dans les PMA.
