The 12th Ministerial Conference (MC12) of the World Trade Organization (WTO) will be held at Geneva in Switzerland on June 12-15, reports BSS.
The conference was earlier scheduled to be held in December last year, but it was postponed due to the surge in Covid-19 cases.
The WTO has already confirmed the recent development to its member countries.
This edition of the ministerial conference is very much important for Bangladesh as the country is in the process for graduating from the LDCs.
Talking to BSS on Tuesday, Commerce Ministry WTO Cell Director General Md Hafizur Rahman said that Bangladesh had taken all necessary preparations when the conference was scheduled to take place in last December. "We've also taken necessary preparations for the upcoming conference," he added.
He informed that centering the MC12, Bangladesh is putting utmost priority in continuing subsidy in the fisheries sector alongside graduating from the LDCs. "Efforts will be there so that the preferential trade benefits that we're now receiving can continue beyond the LDC graduation period," he said.
