Lu will work with team members from the trade center, which is operated by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the United Nations, and associated agencies to understand fashion brands and retailers’ sourcing practices and identify trade policy options to help LDCs go through their transition. The WTO has reported that graduating from LDC status is an important milestone for a country, but the resulting loss of special international support measures can create new challenges for development and trade.</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#c38b0057-2b90-41e0-8099-c52275f2be5d;L0|#0c38b0057-2b90-41e0-8099-c52275f2be5d|Public Service;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2021.00000000000 | https://publish.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=83 | |
