Overseas Development Aid: Motion.
The trade engaged in by the least developed countries to which I have referred constitutes 0.5% of world trade. Those countries earn eight times more from trade than they receive in overseas development aid. This makes clear to me that while ODA is vital – I will do my utmost to keep the graph continuing in the right direction – trade is an issue that must be addressed.
