Deputy Prime Minister, Jotham Napat said he would like to see that Vanuatu’s graduation must be with momentum, which ensures the continuation of the sustainable development process beyond the actual graduation.

Mr Napat made the comment at the 8th Ministerial Conference of the Least Developed Countries taking place in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates last month.

“Vanuatu would strongly recommend that UNIDO Comprehensive Programme of Action from 2021-2030 should take into account the interest and specificities of countries earmark for graduation like Vanuatu.

The workshop is jointly organized by the World Trade Organisation secretariat in collaboration with the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat (PIFS), and is supported through the Enhanced Integrated Framework secretariat (EIF) implementing project in Geneva.

The workshop brings together Pacific island countries who are members of the WTO and non-WTO members.

The workshop includes representatives from Kiribati, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Samoa, Maldives and Vanuatu.
