在进行了18年的谈判之后，世界贸易组织正式接纳俄罗斯为其成员国。
星期五，世界贸易组织现行153个成员国的部长们举行会议，最后批准俄罗斯的成员国地位。作为回应，俄罗斯同时同意一些措施，包括限定关税、限制补贴并扩大外国银行进入俄罗斯发展业务的自由度等。
世界贸易组织成员国将在俄罗斯议会批准协议后正式生效。预计，生效时期是明年年初。
俄罗斯是世界主要经济体中最后加入世界贸易组织的国家。世贸组织制定全球贸易规则并监管这个制度的运转。
世贸组织总干事拉米说，俄罗斯的成员国地位更加坚定地把俄罗斯纳入全球经济，也将让俄罗斯成为更富有吸引力的商业目的地。
The World Trade Organization has officially accepted Russia as a member, after 18 years of negotiations.
A meeting of ministers from the trade body's existing 153 member countries gave final approval Friday to membership for Russia, which in return has agreed to measures including a cap on tariffs, limits on subsidies and allowing foreign banks to operate more freely in Russia.
The WTO membership will become effective after Russia's parliament ratifies the agreement. That is expected early next year.
Russia is the last of the world's major economies to join the WTO, which establishes and monitors global trade rules. WTO Director-General Pascal Lamy has said Russia's membership will bring it more firmly into the global economy and make the country a more attractive place to do business.
