Ethiopia has reaffirmed its strong commitment to concluding its World Trade Organization (WTO) accession negotiations at the Eighth Working Party meeting in Geneva. Trade Minister and Chief Negotiator, Ms. Yasmin Wohabrebbi led the Ethiopian delegation along with State Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Hadera Abera and other dignitaries. The delegation declared WTO membership a top national priority. The renewed push builds on economic reforms following the formation of a new government in October, boosting a process first launched in 2003.

Progress reported includes reviewing over 460 legal instruments, submitting updated accession documents, and enacting reforms to align with WTO rules. Minister Yasmin expressed readiness to finish bilateral market access negotiations while requesting a flexible, development-sensitive approach. WTO Deputy Director-General Xiangchen Zhang and member states welcomed Ethiopia's reforms and supported integrating its 130-million-person market into the global trading system.

The November 9-10 meeting aims to resolve remaining multilateral issues and map the final phase toward membership. Joining the WTO is expected to support Ethiopia's economic growth, export expansion, and integration into regional frameworks like the AfCFTA. Minister Yasmin urged WTO members to match Ethiopia’s political commitment with pragmatism to achieve a mutually beneficial outcome.
