WTO chief urges Russia to join
23/04/2002
Mike Moore, head of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), has placed pressure on Russia to join the international body, promising a new schedule and calling on politicians to double their efforts. Without the former superpower, Mr Moore said, the WTO could not consider itself to be truly a world organisation. He was speaking during the fifth Russian economic forum, which took place in London on Friday, April 19.
