Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr. Ángel Villalobos Rodríguez of Mexico, at the Trade Policy Review of the Republic of Moldova, 20 and 22 July 2022.

The second Trade Policy Review of the Republic of Moldova has provided us with a good opportunity to better understand and discuss the developments of trade and trade-related policies of the Republic of Moldova since its previous Review in 2015. The Review has benefited from the constructive and informative participation of the delegation of the Republic of Moldova, headed by H.E. Mr Vadim Gumene, State Secretary of the Ministry of Economy, the insightful comments of the discussant, H.E. Ambassador Mrs Pimchanok Pitfield, Permanent Representative of Thailand to the WTO, and the comments made, and issues raised, by the 17 delegations that took the floor during this meeting. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the delegations that prepared advance written questions.
