SUMMARY:What trade policy and aid for trade support for Cambodia after LDC 
 graduation?: National research and policy dialogue workshop
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:The workshop aims to address the challenges faced by Least Deve
 loped Countries (LDCs) members of the Association of Southeast Asian Natio
 ns (ASEAN)\, specifically Cambodia\, as they face graduation prospects and
  changing trade-policy landscapes. The ASEAN LDCs have enjoyed successful 
 export-led growth supported by preferential market access and rules of ori
 gin based on their LDC status\, but with the proliferation of Free Trade A
 greements (FTAs)\, preference erosion is becoming a concern. Additionally\
 , graduation from LDC status means the phasing out of trade preferences gr
 anted to these countries.\n\nTo address these issues\, the workshop opens 
 a policy dialogue among supporting institutions such as ADB and UNCTAD and
  the trade policy makers and regulators of Cambodia to identify the trade 
 policy options and related Aid for trade assistance to address the challen
 ges faced by Cambodia.  More specifically\, the workshop aims to discuss
  with policymakers and the private sector the most suitable policy tools a
 nd strategies in both\, traditional and new trade policy areas\, including
  market access\, rules of origin and SPS\, trade in services\, e-commerce\
 , and digital service.  \n\nThe workshop will also serve to identify new
  aid for trade needs to orient research and capacity-building assistance r
 equired to support Cambodia in: \n\n\nimplementing their commitment under
  RCEP and other FTAs and increase their utilization rates\, \nefficiently
  negotiating new FTAs or updating commitments under existing ones\,\nident
 ifying trade policy strategies to maintain and improve market access in ma
 in preference-giving countries after their graduation and seeking alternat
 ive markets.\n\n&lt\;p class=&quot\;text-align-justify\n\nView meeting on
