What a pleasure to welcome ambassadors to the WTO to film this project. It came in late but certainly a favorite video of 2024 in tandem with @RoxanaParaschiv and @jantgut. Happy birthday to the WTO!
30 years of the WTO through the voices of its members! What is the WTO? Why does it matter? What’s next? Three decades supporting the multilateral trading system—and the journey goes on! #WTOat30

My favorite WTO video series is back, set at some locations that are central to modern trade: a package sorting centre and a logistics company.
Globalization has improved lives worldwide, but not everyone has shared in the benefits of trade. Join Wase and Trineesh as they show how the WTO is supporting a more inclusive, sustainable future through re-globalization — ensuring everyone has a place in the global economy.
