Committee of participants of the Global System of Trade Preferences (GSTP) among developing countries, 34th session – 20 July 2026

What is the GSTP? The Global System of Trade Preferences is a deal where developing countries give each other lower tariffs, making it easier and cheaper for them to trade with one another. Monday, 20 July 2026, in the Palais des Nations, GSTP holds its 34th Committee of Participants, hosted by H.E. Omar Zniber, President of the GSTP and Permanent Representative of Morocco. Why it matters: GSTP members represent an $18 trillion market — nearly one-fifth of global merchandise imports.
