WTO Secretariat

The WTO Secretariat is the administrative and support body of the World Trade Organization. It provides technical assistance, research, and analysis to help member countries develop trade policies and resolve issues. Staffed by experts from around the world, it ensures smooth operation of WTO's functions, such as organizing meetings and monitoring global trade practices. The Secretariat does not set rules or make decisions; instead, it supports members in implementing agreements and promoting fair international trade. Its role is essential for maintaining transparency, providing information, and facilitating cooperation among WTO members.
