Peru's Ministry of Foreign Trade and Tourism, or Mincetur, will participate in next week's plurilateral talks toward a trade in services agreement, a WTO trade facilitation pact.
The meeting will be held from November 4-8 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA) is being negotiating among a group of 23 World Trade Organization (WTO) members, self-defined as the “Real Good Friends of Services.”
They include Australia, Canada, Colombia, Costa Rica, the European Union, Hong Kong, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Chile, Norway, Peru, South Korea, Switzerland, Taiwan, Turkey, the United States, Pakistan, Iceland and Paraguay.
Trade in services refers to the sale and delivery of an intangible product, such as tourism, financial services and telecommunications services.
Gerardo Antonio Meza, a foreign trade specialist at Mincetur, will represent Peru during the five-day event.
