Cambodia to host Least-Developed-Countries roundtable

Cambodia is set to host a meeting in Siem Reap to help coordinate the trade interests of 48 least-developed countries (LDCs), said the Minister of Commerce Pan Sorasak on Thursday. “The members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) were confident in us and chose Cambodia, at the recently concluded WTO annual meeting, to coordinate the LDCs,” said Mr. Sorasak at a national workshop on LDCs.
 

Cambodia has been selected to chair the Global Coordination Bureau of the Least Developed Countries. The bureau operates under the WTO. “Cambodia has an obligation to coordinate the world’s 48 LDCs to promote their interests in the global economy,” added Mr. Sorasak.
 

According to Mr. Sorasak, Cambodia will prepare to host a roundtable for LDCs in Siem Reap in March. “This roundtable will discuss and search for solutions on a number of issues affecting LDCs. It will also gauge the feelings of LDCs that want to become members of the WTO,” he said.
