Welcome!

Hello delegates. Welcome to HSMUN! This year the WTO (World Trade Organization) will be addressing the following two topics:

(1) Furthering the Goals of the 2005 Hong Kong Ministerial Declaration

(2) The Question of Economic Diversification in Agricultural-Commodity Dependent Developing States


Please try and start your research sooner rather than later. The more research you do, the better the debate. Try to ensure you closely follow your country's policies on these issues. If you have any questions we are more than happy to help you. If you have questions on topic 1 email Kristi at kristimeier10@yahoo.ca. For topic 2 email Britt at brburton@ualberta.ca. For general questions email Kristen at kpue@ualberta.ca.
