... all business activities that facilitate buying and selling; all activities that facilitate the carrying out of reciprocal agreements by which parties accept something of value on one side and deliver on the other and, in the case of the latter, end with payment in consideration as well as a mutual understanding that the aim is to make a profit. Commerce includes the making of contracts as well as the intercourse, traffic, and navigational activities that bring about delivery and payment. Chambers of commerce are membership organizations operated by and for business and commercial interests in specific locations. It is not unusual for a national or city-region chamber to have operations dedicated to international trade and development.

foreign market:

... given that an economy can be defined as a system for developing, producing, distributing and managing material wealth in and around a place, and that the market is a way of defining it in terms of the existence of buyers, a separate economy recognizable as a market that is accessible from the first is deemed to be foreigna foreign market. This definition is refined by factoring in the term export. Therefore, an enterprise operating from its location with an ability to effectively reach buyers of its products or services in an economy separated from its own is an exporter. It is seen as exporting to a foreign market.

For example, the World Bank and UN work together through the latter's organization known as the International Development Association.

Wikipedia offers a discussion, pointing out that international development is ... a concept that lacks a universally accepted definition. It is an expression that is, nevertheless, understood within the context of economic development to the extent that agencies are able to create programs with such entities as international trade and development. Several websites dedicated to international development, including Wikipedia, tie the expression to discussions of sustainable development.

The UK International Development Department explains how it is involved in by pointing out that international development encompasses ... efforts, by developed and developing countries, to bring people out of poverty and so reduce how much their country relies on overseas aid. Many different things can contribute to development which reduces poverty, such as settling conflicts, increasing trade, tackling climate change, securing more and better aid, and improving health and education. Also, there is a US United States Agency for International Development (USAID) website which addresses, among other things, economic growth and trade.

The Network is dedicated to global enterprise and economic development; therefore, its definition of international development is within the context of the two processes combined.
