All LDCs and SVEs are engaged in free trade agreements (FTAs) with countries both within and outside their geographic regions. At the regional level, Table 13.4 shows that small and least-developed countries are engaged in RTA negotiations, in many cases in multiple theatres: for example, the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), Pacific Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG) and East African Member States are also engaged in both sub-regional and regional trade negotiations, Afghanistan is a member of the Greater Arab Free Trade Area (GAFTA) but also pursuing FTA negotiations within the framework of its membership of SAARC. Outside their regional groupings, SVEs and LDCs have either signed, or are in the process of negotiating, bilateral trade agreements with both developed and developing countries.
