| The publication presents the likely consequences of the Uruguay Round agreements for ESCAP member countries and the emerging trade policies concerns. Strategy papers included in this study deal with trade in services, multilateral trade rules, the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the future of the trading system. These strategy papers indicate the wide scope for developing Asian and Pacific countries to benefit from mutual cooperation and exchange of experiences. The papers highlight the importance of promoting public understanding and awareness in each country of the net benefits from the Uruguay Round agreements, and the need for cooperation between the public and private sectors. The question of better coordination between agencies and departments within the government is also addressed. Countries covered by this study are Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Islamic Republic of Iran, Japan, Republic of Korea, Lao PDR, Macao (China), Malaysia, Mongolia, Nepal, Pakistan, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Viet Nam.
The publication presents the proceedings of the ESCAP/UNDP/KDI Regional Symposium on the Uruguay Round Agreements, held in Seoul, Republic of Korea, from 30 November to 3 December 1994. |
