"The Trade Point concept can concentrate efforts and resources. It can spearhead the efforts to improve Trade Efficiency. The Trade Points brings together all providers of services required to make a commercial transaction: customs, foreign trade institutes, freight forwarders, transport companies, banks and insurance firms. Each Trade Point coordinates and shares information with all other Trade Points. But the design of each Trade Point is undertaken locally, following UNCTAD guidelines. The staffing and financing are primarily locally. And therefore, each Trade Point takes into account the unique circumstances of its location."

Address by the UN Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Galhi to United Nations International Symposium on Trade Efficiency (UNISTE).
