Darlington Mwape presents credentials to WTO

Share

Zambia’s Ambassador and Permanent representative to the United Nations in Geneva and other International Organizations, Darlington Mwape, has presented his credentials to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).

During the presentation, Mr. Mwape hoped the G 20 summit, being held in London this week, would focus on aid for trade in developing countries.
He said Zambia, like any other country, was affected by the global recession and needed measures that would lessen its impact especially on the county’s mining sector which was the most affected.
And receiving the credentials, WTO Director-General, Pascal Lamy said Zambia was an active player in WTO and urged Mr. Mwape to continue putting the country in the limelight.

He said he would find time to visit the mines on the Copperbelt to assess the impact of the crisis on Zambia’s mining sector.

Mr Lamy is expected in the country for the North-South Corridor High Level Conference to be held from the 6th to the 7th of April 2009.
