WTO law centre welcomes Vietnam

The Executive Director of the Geneva-based Advisory Centre on WTO Law (ACWL), Frieder Roessler, on May 19 signed a protocol on Vietnamese membership.

Addressing the signing ceremony, Roessler said the event indicates that   Vietnam  , along with other members in the World Trade Organisation (WTO), trusts and recognises the services provided by the centre.

For his part, Ambassador Vu Dung, head of the Vietnamese mission at the UN, the WTO and other international organisations in  Geneva , said that the centre’s services would help   Vietnam   to finalise its legal system and fulfil its commitments to the world’s largest trade body.

He added that services provided by the centre will also help   Vietnam to protect its own interests during trade disputes at the WTO.

“Vietnam  always tries to solve economic disputes in ways that avoid using the WTO dispute’s settlement mechanism,” emphasised the ambassador.

The ACWL is an inter-Governmental organisation, which was founded in 2001 to provide free legal advisory services on WTO rules. The 74-member organisation helps developing and under-developed countries to protect their interests during trade disputes and provide training on WTO law for officials from these countries.
