The Secretary-General met in Paris on the 3rd of March with Donald Johnston, Secretary-General of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to discuss ways of advancing the WTO trade talks, donor harmonisation, and the scope for further collaboration.

"The interests and activities of our two organisations already intersect regularly around the world on issues as diverse as money laundering, anti-corruption, donor harmonisation, and supporting good governance in global trade. I am keen to ensure our two organisations continue to bring our respective views and collective weight to bear on global challenges in a positive and collaborative way," Mr McKinnon said.
