The Arab-Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce and Palestine Trade Center - PalTrade - conducted a roundtable Session on Wednesday 01 October 2014 in the premises of the Chamber.

The main objective of the roundtable discussion was to gather concerned parties in order to address the National Export Strategy of Palestine as well as the challenges facing Palestinian trade.

The following key issues were identified to be discussed at the roundtable discussion:

- How to improve market access for Palestinian goods into the Belgian Market
- Provide assistance to Palestinian businesses
- Evaluating joint ventures and networking between Belgian and Palestinian businesses and associations

In the course of the debate, representatives of the Palestine Trade Center, the Palestinian Ministry of National Economy, the Palestinian Businessmen Association, the Business Women Forum, the Palestinian Investment Promotion Agency, and the Palestinian Market Development Programme presented the actual situation in Palestine along with accurate trade figures.

Furthermore, all Palestinian and Belgian participants, present during the roundtable, discussed the potential of Belgo-Palestinian relations and agree to follow up on this matter. What is more, the Arab-Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce expressed its will to host a Palestinian delegation in the course of 2015 in order to present Palestinian economy and to further explore partnerships.

In a nutshell, this gathering enabled participants from both sides to share experiences, promote dialogue, and consolidate key partner relations.
