Concluding Remarks by the Chairperson of the Trade Policy Review Body, H.E. Mr Manuel A.J. Teehankee of the Philippines at the Trade Policy Review of Lao People’s Democratic Republic, 18 and 20 November 2019.
The first Trade Policy Review of Lao PDR has offered us a good opportunity to deepen our understanding of recent developments in, and challenges to, its trade, economic, and investment policies. Since its accession in 2013, Lao PDR’s initiatives to further integrate into the Multilateral Trading System and take advantage of the opportunities it offers have been greatly appreciated. Indeed, the about 200 advance written questions submitted by 12 Members and the 23 delegations that took the floor during the first day underline the importance attached by Members to Lao PDR’s trade and investment policies and practices.
