The World Trade Organization (WTO) is an international organization overseeing a large number of agreements defining “trade rules” between Member States. The WTO is the successor of the “General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade” and operates towards the reduction and abolition of international trade barriers.

The Republic of Moldova is a full member of the World Trade Organization since June 6, 2001.
