Déclaration de Michael Chakanaka Bimha
 
Vice-Ministre de l'industrie et du commerce  
   Permettez-moi, au nom du gouvernement et du peuple de la République du Zimbabwe ainsi 
qu'en mon nom propre, d'exprimer notre sincère gr atitude à nos hôtes, le gouvernement et le peuple 
suisses, pour leur chaleureuse hospitalité et les excellentes installations qu'ils ont mises à notre 
disposition pour cette réunion.  Je rends également hommage au Directeur général de l'OMC et à son 
personnel pour la compétence avec laquelle la Conférence a été organisée.   La présente Conférence se tient au moment où la plupart des économies font face à des défis sans précédent du fait de la crise financière mondiale qui a entraîné  un ralentissement de l'activité 
économique mondiale.  Le Zimbabwe, comme les autr es pays, n'a pas été épargné par les incidences 
négatives de ce phénomène mondial.   C'est dans ce contexte que mon pays joint sa voix à celles d'autres membres pour plaider en 
faveur de la conclusion rapide du Cycle de Doha. 
 
 On ne peut trop insister sur l'importance de l'Aide pour le commerce lorsqu'il s'agit de pallier 
l'insuffisance des capacités du côté de l'offre et de  l'infrastructure commerciale dans les pays en 
développement, en particulier dans ces temps diffi ciles.  Je saisis cette occasion pour demander 
instamment à tous nos partenaires bilatéraux et multilatéraux pour le dével oppement de tenir leurs 
engagements au titre de l'initiative de l'Aide pour le commerce. 
 
 Alors que les négociations se poursuivent, no us lançons un appel en  faveur d'un processus 
multilatéral qui soit équitable, transparent et ouvert  à tous.  Les réunions bilaté rales et plurilatérales 
sont certes utiles pour améliorer la compréhension mu tuelle mais elles doivent être un complément au 
processus multilatéral. 
 
 Pour conclure, j'insiste sur l'urgence de faire le point sur la situation et de réévaluer l'état des 
négociations et leur fidélité à la dimension déve loppement du Cycle de Doha.  Je souhaite également 
réitérer l'attachement du Zimbabwe à ce processus et aux objectifs de cette entreprise.

mondiale et à mieux tirer parti du système commercial multilatéral". 
 L'Ambassadeur de la Finlande, M. Vesa Himanen, a déclaré:  "La Finlande contribue 
continuellement aux efforts déployés pour aider les pays les moins avancés à améliorer leurs 
activités commerciales et économiques.  Cette contribution est l'expression concrète de l'œuvre de la Finlande en faveur de la  réduction de la pauvreté".
