Mission
The mission of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is two-fold.

On the other, the Ministry also guarantees the growth of Palau's trade and commerce sector through the strengthening of local cottage industries, tourism, effective management of land, sea and air transportation and the proper utilization of information and communications technologies.
