Russian WTO negotiations continue
A new round of bilateral and multilateral talks on Russia’s bid to join the World Trade Organization (WTO) will begin in Geneva on Monday, RIA Novosti reports.
The countrys chief negotiators have earlier expressed confidence that Russia will join the trade club by the end of the year. Russia has been seeking membership of the global trade body since 1993. So far, Moscow has concluded bilateral talks with over 60 states, but still needs to complete discussions with two WTO members - Saudi Arabia and Georgia.
