DG Okonjo-Iweala stresses important role of partnerships to boost opportunities for LDCs Director-General Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala opened the High-level Platform for LDC Partnerships on 16 September 2025 in Geneva, highlighting trade’s role in fostering resilience and creating new opportunities for least-developed countries (LDCs). The event brought together ministers, funding partners, international organizations, the private sector and around 70 capital-based LDC trade ministry representatives to exchange perspectives on LDC trade and investment priorities and to look ahead to the next phase of the Enhanced Integrated Framework (EIF), a partnership dedicated to helping LDCs use trade to generate growth.
