Bangladesh in the United Nations, the Commonwealth and the WTO
Background
The United Nations member-states list gives Bangladesh's date of admission as 17 September 1974.
The Commonwealth page for Bangladesh says it joined the Commonwealth in 1972, after independence from Pakistan.
The World Trade Organization says Bangladesh has been a WTO member since 1 January 1995.
The same WTO page says Bangladesh has been a member of GATT since 16 December 1972.
The capital city is Dhaka.
