The requested technical assistance is expected to support Bhutan in finalizing the Draft Working Party Report, Legislative Action Plan, and market access offers for goods and services in a timely and comprehensive manner. It will also help strengthen coordination between the WTO Secretariat and the national accession team, ensuring that the documentation meets WTO requirements and reflects Bhutan’s current trade regime accurately.
