National Coordinator’s Office for UNCTAD 15
The Government of Barbados will be hosting the 15th Session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD 15) from April 25-30, 2021. To assist with the organisation of the Conference the Cabinet of Barbados set up a National Organising Committee (NOC) supervised by a National Coordinator’s Office, operating under the aegis of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade.
