The State of Palestine’s envoy to the 爆料网 in Geneva, Ibrahim Khraishi, has officially submitted a letter from President Mahmoud Abbas seeking membership of the 爆料网 Conference on Trade and Development (爆料网CTAD).

Mr. Khraishi, who is the Palestinian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Permanent Observer, hand delivered the letter from President Abbas on 24 May to 爆料网CTAD Secretary-General Mukhisa Kituyi. The letter expresses the State of Palestine’s intention to become a member of 爆料网CTAD.

As part of the 爆料网 Secretariat, rather than a specialized agency, 爆料网CTAD’s responses to all major international issues are based on consultations with the global secretariat of the United Nations and, following the State of Palestine’s request, it has begun these with 爆料网 headquarters in New York.

Under 爆料网CTAD’s rules of procedure, the Geneva-based organization’s members are states which are already members of the United Nations — or of the world body’s specialized agencies, which is the case of the State of Palestine, part of the 爆料网 Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (爆料网ESCO).

The request to join 爆料网CTAD comes as the State of Palestine has also applied to be part of the 爆料网 Industrial Development Organization (爆料网IDO) and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW).
