THE virtual meeting of Trade Policy Review Body kicked off on 15 February online to prepare for the second review report, with the assistance of GIZ and ARISE Plus project.

Permanent Secretary U Min Min from the Ministry of Commerce led the meeting participated by the directors-general of Trade Department, representatives of TPR Technical Team and experts from the relevant subjects.

The meeting discussed progress in implementing provisions, rules and pledges made in the trade agreements to inform other member countries about foreign trade poli cies and practices.

Although Myanmar became a member of World Trade Organization in 1995, the country could only review the first trade policies and practices in 2014. Based on the findings and recommendations from this review, more steps were taken with the technical assistance of WTO to ensure better policies on the trades.

The report by the WTO Secretariat included trade policies of Myanmar and implementations of these policies, while the report of Myanmar government under the WTO-TPR mechanism will also explain trade policy reforms and implementations of WTO agreements from 2014 to 202.

After submitting the report to the WTO, it will issue the final report.
