Timor-Leste joined the WTO on 30 August as its 166th member, after seven and a half years of negotiating its accession terms with WTO members. It is the 11th least-developed country (LDC) to accede to the WTO since the organization’s establishment in 1995. Timor-Leste also announced its formal acceptance of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies.
