Cambodia Joins WTO
Today, October 13, 2004, Cambodia became the 148th member of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Although Cambodia's WTO membership agreement was approved at the Cancun Ministerial in September 2003, Cambodia's ratification of the agreement was delayed due to internal political issues. The Cambodian Parliament finally ratified the agreement in September 2004 and Cambodia became a member one month after it informed the WTO. Cambodia submitted its application to join the WTO in December 1994.
