United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) is holding a seminar in Valencia this week to help implement an efficient port management program in developing countries that is bringing together around twenty ports from all around the world.
The seminar has the participation of reference ports in training programs in the Spanish-speaking areas (Valencia and Gijón), English-speaking (Cork, Dublin, Belfast and Shannon Foynes), French-speaking (Marseille and Nantes) and Portuguese-speaking (Leixoes And Sines) and brings together port representatives from countries such as Peru, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Argentina, Angola, Ghana, Gabon, Senegal, Benin, Togo, Guinea, Mauritania, Haiti and Cameroon.
According to Geneviève Féraud, head of UNCTAD’s development, the training program offered by this United Nations organism “is one of the best technical assistance programs to support the world’s ports, especially those in developing countries, to improve its operation and effectiveness. For UNCTAD, Valencia, apart from being a reference partner in the training program for Spanish-speaking countries, is a very important enclosure for its know-how”.
