GENEVA TRADE WEEK 2021 OPENING PLENARY – TRADE FOR PEACE

Geneva Trade Platform
, -

Graduate Institute’s Ivan-Pictet Auditorium & Zoom

Geneva Trade Week 2021 kicks off with a high-level discussion organized in collaboration with the WTO Trade for Peace (T4P) Programme about the critical intersection of trade and peacebuilding, and what more can be done to increase collaboration, exchange, and dialogue between these two critical international communities. 

As awareness of the contribution of trade policy to other areas of public life grows, so too must the inclusion of other voices in trade policy discussions. The Geneva Trade Platform was created to broaden and make more inclusive the conversation around trade, and both the Geneva Trade Week 2021 Programme and this event reflect that commitment.
