Yemen and the United States signed on Monday in Geneva, Switzerland, the bilateral agreement to finalize the requirements of Yemen to join the World Trade Organization (WTO). The agreement was initially signed in Washington last May after six-year negotiation between Yemen and the US. It is the ninth one after signing equivalent agreements with China, European Union's States, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Honduras and Salvador. The agreement was signed by the Yemen permanent representative to United Nations (UN) European Headquarters in Geneva Ibrahim al-Adofi and US Deputy Chief of Mission to WTO David Shark, Yemeni News Agency "SABA" reported today. After signing the agreement, Shark renewed his country's support to Yemen's accession to the WTO.
