The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development and the City University of Hong Kong concluded a Memorandum of Understanding on capacity building in international dispute settlement on 10 March 2008.

This Memorandum will reinforce the aims of UNCTAD and CityU to enhance expertise on dispute settlement in international trade, investment and intellectual property, and on international commercial arbitration.

The MOU has as its regional focus China and other developing countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Hong Kong´s CityU is well positioned to become a regional hub for professional education and training in international dispute settlement.
