Abstract
The author attended the Seminar on “Services and Development: The Role of Foreign Direct Investment and Trade” organized by the Government of Peru; in cooperation with United Nations Centre on Transnational Corporations (UNCTC), New York, and Junta Del Acuerdo De Cartagena at Lima during 1-4 February 1988. The Seminar was attended by high ranking officials, government spokesmen, academics and specialists from various parts of the world. Special papers on Framework of Agreement for Services, role of services in the development of Andean Pact countries, transborder data flows-a case study of Brazil, etc., were presented and discussed. The findings of the Seminar are perhaps as much relevant to the developing countries of Asia and Africa as to those of Latin America. The author gives in this paper an overview of the Lima Seminar.
