The 9th Global Review of Aid for Trade entitled “Mainstreaming Trade into Development Strategies” wrapped up on 28 June after three days of discussions involving over 1,000 participants and more than 60 sessions looking into how developing economies can maximize the potential of trade to boost economic growth and improve living standards. “The Aid-for-Trade initiative remains vital for ensuring that the benefits of trade are widely shared,” Deputy Director-General Xiangchen Zhang said in closing the event.
