He expanded that the CTD was “established in 1965 in GATT (now WTO) for the economic development of Developing Countries”
Its inception came, in particular, to deal especially with issues related to the “Enabling Clause” to provide non-reciprocal trading preferences to developing countries, keeping in mind the Generalized System of Preferences, or GSP.
“Under Pakistan’s leadership, the CTD would strive to work for the expansion of trade & investment opportunities for Developing Countries,” he said.
