In the conference, Sun stated that as a small island developing state(SIDS), Grenada relies heavily on a predictable, transparent, and efficient multilateral trading system (MTS) and that in recent years, Grenada has been focusing on developing digital economy and e-commerce through blockchain technologies to support the WTO’s Work Programme on E-Commerce.
