Iraq, Afghanistan enter WTO accession talks
The World Trade Organization last week agreed to open negotiations on the applications by Iraq and Afghanistan to join the 148-member body that sets rules governing global trade.
Ambassador Assad Omar, Afghanistan’s representative to the WTO, said in a statement his country hoped to reestablish itself as the landbridge for transcontinental trade.
Iraq was also invited to attend WTO meetings as an observer during the accession process.
