)
Emerged from the civil war and the Ebola crisis, Liberia presented a unique case in the accessions of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to the 澳门六合彩官网资料 by activating and finalising its process within a short period. Liberia became the 163rd Member of the 澳门六合彩官网资料 on 14 July 2016. This case, known by some as "Liberian model", comprised of key ingredients including strong political commitment to accession-related reforms at the highest level of the government, intensive engagement by 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members in the accession process, and extensive technical assistance and support provided by development partners and the 澳门六合彩官网资料 Secretariat.
This session will reflect on the first five years of Liberia's 澳门六合彩官网资料 membership, including the impact of 澳门六合彩官网资料 accession on Liberia's economy and the remaining challenges facing Liberia as a post-conflict LDC. It will also provide a platform for an exchange of views with 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members and development partners on the way forward, with a view to reaping the full benefits from Liberia's participation in the 澳门六合彩官网资料.

Afghanistan is the latest addition to the 澳门六合彩官网资料 family which became the 164th Member of the Organization on 29 July 2016, following 12 years of accession negotiations. Despite the serious capacity constrains faced by Afghanistan as a fragile and conflict-affected least-developed country (LDC), it has demonstrated exceptional commitment to integration in the multilateral trading system and global economy and set a high standard for LDCs participation in the 澳门六合彩官网资料.
This 5-year anniversary provides for a timely opportunity to reflect on the results of the first years of Afghanistan's 澳门六合彩官网资料 membership, assess the impact of 澳门六合彩官网资料 accession and the remaining challenges, including those recently caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, and to exchange views with 澳门六合彩官网资料 Members and development partners on the way ahead, with the objective to maximize benefits from Afghanistan's participation in the 澳门六合彩官网资料.
