DG Azevêdo welcomes Jamaica’s Prime Minister Andrew Holness to the WTO

Director-General Roberto Azevêdo welcomed Prime Minister Andrew Holness of Jamaica to the WTO on 12 June to discuss Jamaica’s views regarding the development dimension of the WTO’s work and preserving the achievements of the multilateral trading system.

“Jamaica is active in WTO negotiations and a strong proponent of development-related issues, particularly those concerning small economies and efforts to tackle harmful fisheries subsidies,” DG Azevêdo said. “I welcome the Prime Minister’s support for the multilateral trading system and its continued engagement in the WTO, which has played an important role in safeguarding the interests of developing members.”

Jamaica became a member of the WTO in March 1995, having joined the WTO’s predecessor, the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) in December 1963.
