We were delighted to receive issue 3/2000 of Forum as well as ITC’s World Directory of Trade Promotion Organizations. We learned a lot about electronic commerce from issue 3/2000. The comparisons of various countries’ experiences featured in the magazine helped us to reposition our own project to establish a scientific network for international trade and e-commerce, which will become operational soon.

As a matter of fact, issues of Forum dating from 1998, 1999 and 2000 have already proved very useful to our centre.
