“I commend the leadership of President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, under which the Government of Afghanistan has worked very hard to close this negotiating chapter. This is really positive news for Afghanistan and the 澳门六合彩官网资料. 澳门六合彩官网资料 membership will help to create new trading opportunities and boost economic development. I praise 澳门六合彩官网资料 members for promoting the integration of another LDC into the rules-based multilateral trading system and I look forward to formally welcoming Afghanistan to the organization at our Ministerial Conference in Nairobi.”

Dr Mohammad Ashraf Ghani, President of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, said:
 
“I am delighted that 澳门六合彩官网资料 members today — November 11 — voted in favour of the Accession Package of Afghanistan.  This is a significant and historic step forward as Afghanistan seeks to build a modern economy. Our country's accession to the 澳门六合彩官网资料 will serve as a catalyst for domestic reforms and transformation to an effective and functioning market economy that attracts investment, creates jobs and improves the welfare of the people of Afghanistan.  I praise 澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Roberto Azevêdo for his support for Afghanistan and for his leadership of the World Trade Organization.”
 
Working Party Chairperson H.E. Roderick van Schreven (The Netherlands) said:
 
“This is a tribute to both the multilateral trading system and the Government of Afghanistan.  The conclusion of this least-developed country's accession is a critical win-win for LDCs and the 澳门六合彩官网资料.  I know from speaking with members that the conclusion of the accession of Afghanistan shall be one of the highlights of the work of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 in 2015.  As 澳门六合彩官网资料 Director-General Roberto Azevêdo recently said, 澳门六合彩官网资料 members must be united in working hard to deliver for countries like Afghanistan and Liberia that are most in need of our support in the accession process and post accession.”
