For all countries, the rapid globalization of markets and the growing trend toward regional economic integration are dominant factors influencing trade and development. ICT networks represent an essential means for participating in world markets as well as an effective platform for better regional cooperation and collaboration. ICTs also provide the Commonwealth, and Commonwealth institutions, including a wide range of professional and voluntary organisations, with an effective means of collaborating in areas of mutual interest and concern. Commonwealth bodies can act as catalysts for regional networking in support of trade facilitation, professional development, regulatory reform and cultural exchange. |
