Résumé
UNCTAD's Secretary-General, Rubens Ricupero of Brazil, who retired on Sep 14, 2004, told ITC's staff that he will remember how much he learned from them -- their spirit of objectivity, of trying to make good ideas work in practice. The Berimbau project in Brazil, he noted, is a very good example of giving concrete expression to this link that they are trying to establish or reinforce -- the link between trade and poverty reduction. UNCTAD's 11th conference in Brazil, he noted, adopted a new technical cooperation strategy closely in line with ITC's own strategy. Responding, ITC Executive Director J. Denis Belisle noted that Ricupero had become a regular supporting speaker at ITC events. The WTO's Director-General since 2002, Dr Supachai Panitchpakdi of Thailand underlined the joint aim of the three organizations: to preserve the process of multilateralism which has been so much pressure. He singled out trade in services and dispute settlement as key areas for the coming years.
