UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is scheduled to travel to Geneva of Switzerland Tuesday to attend a forum held at the Headquarters of the World Trade Organisation (WHO), UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters here Monday.

Upon his arrival in Geneva, the secretary-general will attend a public forum entitled "Wshy Trade Matters to Everyone" at the WTO Headquarters, Xinhua quoted Dujarric as saying at a daily news briefing here.

The forum is an annual event organised by WTO which attracts more than 700 participants, including people from academics, non- governmental organizations and the private sector.

"The secretary-general will then address a special session of the Executive Committee of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), which meets once a year in Geneva," said the spokesman.
