With Azerbaijan's support, the WTO Secretariat and its partners (ICC, ITC, UNCTAD) will set up "Trade and Investment House" pavilions in both the "blue" zone (Pavilion Area B4) and the "green" zone (Pavilion Area D10).

The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. The Organization's goal is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.

The WTO acts as a forum for negotiating trade agreements, settles trade disputes between its members and supports the needs of developing countries.
