Our Faculty of Economics hosted Hon. Axel M. Addy, former Liberian Minister of Commerce and Industry and former Chief Negotiator for Liberia’s WTO accession, for a public lecture on international trade and investment. Students explored career pathways in trade policy, negotiations, and investment promotion as Somalia deepens regional integration and pursues WTO membership. We thank Hon. Addy for sharing insights that help our students prepare for emerging opportunities in global trade. #SIMADUniversity #InternationalTradeAndInvestment #EAC #WTO
