A UNITED Nations official is the latest to join the growing list of delegates at a major World Bank seminar in East Lancashire next month.

Zia Rizvi, director general of the Independent Bureau of Humanitarian Issues, has worked for the UN for 25 years.

He will talk to delegates at the 'Winning Business Through World Bank Financing' seminar at the Dunkenhalgh about the aid opportunities available in Bosnia.

The seminar has been organised by Hyndburn Council and Export Data Link to advise firms wanting to trade with the developing world.
