(Bridgetown/Geneva) – The International Trade Centre (ITC) and the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) today announced that they are scaling up their partnership to strengthen support for businesses across the Caribbean region. The announcement was made by CDB President William Warren Smith and ITC Executive Director Arancha González during a meeting at CDB’s headquarters in Bridgetown, Barbados on July 27.

（布里奇顿/日内瓦）——国际贸易中心（ITC）和加勒比开发银行（CDB）今天宣布，它们将扩大合作伙伴关系，以加强对加勒比地区企业的支持。7月27日，CDB总裁威廉•沃伦•史密斯和ITC执行董事阿伦卡•冈萨雷斯在位于巴巴多斯布里奇顿的CDB总部开会时宣布了这一消息。

During the meeting, Smith and Gonzàlez signed a partnership agreement, which confirms ITC as one of CDB’s key partners for the implementation of trade-led development projects in the Caribbean region. While having collaborated on a number of projects for several years, it is the first time that the two organizations have formalized a partnership agreement.

会议期间，史密斯和冈萨雷斯签署了合作协议，确认ITC是CDB在加勒比地区实施以贸易为主导的发展项目的主要合作伙伴之一。虽然多年来在多个项目上合作，这是两个组织首次正式签署合作协议。

​

‘This agreement represents the ITC and CDB’s shared vision for sustainable economic development in the Bank's Borrowing Member Countries. Through this framework, we look forward to working collaboratively with ITC to implement innovative projects that will boost competitiveness and productivity, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises,’ said Dr. Smith.

“该协议代表了ITC和CDB对银行借款成员国可持续发展经济的共同愿景。通过这个架构，我们期待与ITC合作，推行有助提升竞争力和生产力的创新项目，尤其针对中小型企业，”史密斯博士说。

​

Ms. Arancha González said: ‘CDB has a track record of investing in projects that have an impact on people and businesses across the Caribbean. With this agreement ITC and CDB will be able to ensure that more micro, small and medium-sized enterprises are empowered to realize their potential and tap into regional and global value chains.’

冈萨雷斯女士说:“CDB过去在投资那些对加勒比海地区人民和企业产生影响的项目方面拥有成就。通过这项协议，ITC和CDB将能够确保更多的微型、中小型企业能够实现其潜力，并进入区域和全球价值链。”

​

As a first step in the new partnership, the two organizations will explore and identify priority sectors and priority countries for interventions. Previous collaboration between ITC and CDB has resulted in successful projects in several countries and has covered areas including agriculture. One such example is the creation of a Trade Information Portal for The Bahamas, which has enabled exporters to better take advantage of opportunities in foreign markets.

作为新伙伴关系的第一步，两个组织将探讨和确定针对优先部门和优先国家的介入措施。ITC和CDB之前的合作已经在几个国家有过成功的项目，涉及的领域包括农业。其中一个例子是为巴哈马设立了一个贸易信息门户，使出口商能够更好地利用外国市场的机会。
