(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/日內瓦）在新歐盟(EU)項目啟動後，不丹的園藝和紡織手工藝品生產商將在國外市場獲得更強的競爭力。該項目旨在提高附加值、市場聯繫和貿易和投資監管框架。

​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項目實施時，不丹經濟事務部長萊奧波·萊基·多吉解釋說：“歐盟的支持將有助於增加出口的多樣化，這將有助於實施‘不丹品牌’倡議，增加選定的園藝和紡織手工藝品的出口。”

​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.

由歐盟提供400萬歐元的資金，“歐盟-不丹貿易支持項目”將運行超過40個月，由國際貿易中心(ITC)與不丹王國政府的合作管理。

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’.

歐盟駐聯合國大使托馬斯·科茲洛夫斯基說：“這項倡議旨在幫助不丹王國政府實現經濟多樣化，減少經濟依賴，開放市場機會，支持創造就業機會。”他還補充道“我們在園藝和手織紡織品方面的支持將確保私營部門繼續在該國發展，通過生產和銷售高質量的產品到國外市場。”

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.

不丹近年來逐漸接受國際貿易和投資，以實現經濟自力更生和包容的綠色社會經濟發展。不丹的目標是建立強大、充滿活力和進步的經濟，而“歐盟-不丹貿易支持項目”的關鍵目標是支持政府的這一努力。

​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執行董事岡薩雷斯(Arancha Gonzalez)說：“貿易和投資環境的改善將對不丹實現出口多樣化和實現附加值至關重要。這其中一個重要的組成部分將是幫助園藝和紡織品生產商銷售符合市場需求的優質產品。這種多樣化將在不丹為2021年脫離最不發達國家行列的努力中發揮重要作用。

‘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.

“作為不丹的長期合作伙伴，國際貿易委員會將繼續支持政府實現這些目標。性別、青年創業和保護環境將是國際貿易中心提供的支持的組成部分，符合不丹的政策和國家的優先事項”，她說。

​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.

由國民幸福總值委員會(GNHC)和訪不丹歐洲聯盟代表團共同主持的指導委員會，將連同經濟事務部、農業和林業部以及國際貿易中心，為項目提供全面的指導。國家一級機構和尖端商業實體將支持工作計劃的開發和活動的執行。
