Dr. Kituyi will present the fourteenth United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD 14) taking place in the same venue from 17–22 July, 2016.

UNCTAD quadrennial conferences feature intensive discussions on global economics and trends on trade, investment, technology and finance – especially as they affect developing countries.

UNCTAD 14 takes place as Governments operationalize the 17 Sustainable Development Goals under the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The first high-level event of the Conference on 18 July will see Heads of State and Government discussing the opportunities and challenges of implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.

ATTENTION: To attend the press conference, you will need to be accredited for the UNCTAD 14 conference. Accreditation at the conference site will be delivered after registration online at http://unctad14.org/EN/Pages/Participation.aspx. You need to be as early as possible.
For journalists already accredited with the Department of Public Information should mention it in the registration form.
