The 14th session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD XIV) will take place in Nairobi (Kenya) from 17 to 22 July 2016. This quadrennial conference brings together Heads of State and Government, representatives from the private sector, civil society and the academic world, to discuss international trade and development issues. While the EU has reservations about UNCTAD’s economic stance, it appreciates its technical expertise on these matters.

The theme will be From Decisions to Actions. The Conference will feature ministerial debates, high-level round tables, thematic events, a World Investment Forum, a Global Commodities Forum, a Youth Forum and a Civil Society Forum, among other events.
