PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, CMC – Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO) Pascal Lamy Tuesday urged developing countries to ensure they have the necessary trade capacity to take advantage of a changing global environment. Addressing the launch of the Caribbean Regional Aid for Trade (AFT) Strategy, Lamy said however having trade opportunities is not enough. “We must translate the “trade can” into the “trade has” by ensuring developing countries have built the necessary trade capacity. And this is what Aid for Trade is about: helping transform trade opportunities into trade realities.”
