Description

“Landlocked Countries in the Global Economy”

When it comes to international trade and competing in the global marketplace, being a landlocked developing country can be a distinct disadvantage. Can the UN help level the playing field? Can multilateral diplomacy ease burdens of high transportation costs and red tape that plague landlocked countries in the developing world? These are some of the questions explored in this edition of World Chronicle, featuring Anwarul K. Chowdury, the UN Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing States.
