MOSCOW — President Boris N. Yeltsin appealed to the world trade body GATT on Friday to accept Russia as a member by the end of the year.
Yeltsin handed a formal application to the secretary general of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, saying Russia needed access to European and world markets.
“I hope you will not put this on the back burner until the end of the decade,” Yeltsin said. “I hope you will take a decision by the end of 1993.”
