In remarks on 25 November to the 54th session of the Joint Advisory Group that oversees the work of the International Trade Centre (ITC), WTO Deputy Director-General Yonov Frederick Agah argued that open international trade, together with efforts to ensure the benefits from economic activity are widely shared, would be necessary to repair the social and economic damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He praised ITC's work to connect small businesses to markets, empower women and young people, and promote the adoption of greener business practices.  News item
