Limited progress in Russian WTO talks
Russia is making “limited but forward progress” in its bid to become a member of the World Trade Organization, a WTO representative said last week.
Negotiation leader Stefan Johannesson last Friday told Reuters that Russia is making “limited but forward progress” in its bid for membership of the trade club. The official said he had called a meeting of the working group on Russia’s WTO membership, which he chairs, for March 27 and hoped that it might pave the way to further substantive talks, the Moscow Times reports with reference to Reuters.
