(Thimphu/Geneva) Bhutanese producers of horticulture and textile handicrafts will enjoy better competitiveness in foreign markets following the launch of a new European Union (EU) project that aims to improve value addition, market linkages and the trade and investment regulatory framework.

（廷布/日内瓦）在新欧盟(EU)项目启动后，不丹的园艺和纺织手工艺品生产商将在国外市场获得更强的竞争力。该项目旨在提高附加值、市场联系和贸易和投资监管框架。

​Announcing the new project in Bhutan’s capital, Thimphu, on 24 May, Bhutan’s Minister for Economic Affairs Lyonpo Leki Dorji explained: ‘The support from the EU will help in increasing export diversification which would help in implementing the “Brand Bhutan” initiative with increase in exports of selected value chains of horticulture and textile handicrafts’.

5月24日，在不丹首都廷布宣告新项目实施时，不丹经济事务部长莱奥波·莱基·多吉解释说：“欧盟的支持将有助于增加出口的多样化，这将有助于实施‘不丹品牌’倡议，增加选定的园艺和纺织手工艺品的出口。”

​Provided with €4 million of funding from the European Union, the ‘EU-Bhutan Trade Support Project’ will run over 40 months and will be managed by the International Trade Centre (ITC) in collaboration with the Royal Government of Bhutan.

由欧盟提供400万欧元的资金，“欧盟-不丹贸易支持项目”将运行超过40个月，由国际贸易中心(ITC)与不丹王国政府的合作管理。

EU Ambassador Tomasz Kozlowski said: ‘This initiative aims to contribute to the Royal Government of Bhutan's objective of economic diversification, reducing economic dependence, opening up market opportunities and supporting job creation’. He added that ‘Our support in the sectors of horticulture and hand-woven textiles will ensure that the private sector continues to grow in the country, by producing and selling good quality products to foreign markets’.

欧盟驻联合国大使托马斯·科兹洛夫斯基说：“这项倡议旨在帮助不丹王国政府实现经济多样化，减少经济依赖，开放市场机会，支持创造就业机会。”他还补充道“我们在园艺和手织纺织品方面的支持将确保私营部门继续在该国发展，通过生产和销售高质量的产品到国外市场。”

Bhutan has in recent years gradually embraced international trade and investment in a bid to achieve economic self-reliance and inclusive green socio-economic development. Bhutan aims to build a strong, dynamic and progressive economy and a key goal of the ‘EU-Bhutan Trade Support Project’ is to support the government in this effort.

不丹近年来逐渐接受国际贸易和投资，以实现经济自力更生和包容的绿色社会经济发展。不丹的目标是建立强大、充满活力和进步的经济，而“欧盟-不丹贸易支持项目”的关键目标是支持政府的这一努力。

​ITC Executive Director Arancha Gonzalez said: ‘An improved trade and investment environment will be crucial for Bhutan to diversify its exports and achieve value addition. An important component will be to help horticulture and textile producers sell quality products in line with market demands. This diversification will play a significant role in Bhutan’s efforts to graduate from the least developed country category in 2021’.

ITC执行董事冈萨雷斯(Arancha Gonzalez)说：“贸易和投资环境的改善将对不丹实现出口多样化和实现附加值至关重要。这其中一个重要的组成部分将是帮助园艺和纺织品生产商销售符合市场需求的优质产品。这种多样化将在不丹为2021年脱离最不发达国家行列的努力中发挥重要作用。

‘As a long-time partner of Bhutan, ITC will continue supporting the government to achieve these objectives. Gender, youth entrepreneurship and protection of the environment will be integral parts of the support provided by ITC, in line with Bhutan's policies and national priorities’, she said.

“作为不丹的长期合作伙伴，国际贸易委员会将继续支持政府实现这些目标。性别、青年创业和保护环境将是国际贸易中心提供的支持的组成部分，符合不丹的政策和国家的优先事项”，她说。

​A steering committee co-chaired by the Gross National Happiness Commission (GNHC) and the Delegation of the European Union to Bhutan with representation from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forests and ITC will provide overall direction for the project. National level agencies and apex business entities will support work-plan development and the implementation of activities.

由国民幸福总值委员会(GNHC)和访不丹欧洲联盟代表团共同主持的指导委员会，将连同经济事务部、农业和林业部以及国际贸易中心，为项目提供全面的指导。国家一级机构和尖端商业实体将支持工作计划的开发和活动的执行。
