WTO members negotiating the accession of Timor-Leste on 11 January 2024 agreed by consensus, ad referendum, on the terms of the country’s WTO membership, paving the way for the least-developed country (LDC) to join the organization. With the conclusion of the Working Party's mandate, the accession package for Timor-Leste will be submitted to ministers for a formal decision at the WTO's 13th Ministerial Conference (MC13) in Abu Dhabi on 26-29 February.
