“It’s a privilege to have been invited to serve as a Goodwill Ambassador of the World Trade Point Federation and to disseminate the aims and activities of this expanding global trade-facilitating organization. Being involved in the formative stages of this ambitious network is equally a challenge and an opportunity to support SMEs in the five continents of the world“.

“A good example of UNCTAD partnerships involves the World Trade Point Federation. As an NGO, the Federation has successfully pursued the work launched by UNCTAD’s Trade Point Programme in 1992. Since the programme’s transfer to de Federation in November 2002, a close relationship has been maintained and strengthened through the signature in April 2004 of a Memorandum of Understanding between UNTAD and the Federation“.
