Yes it's because the trade they facilitate is generally between two nations, even though they want all nations to trade with each other.

Wow... it's a good point that I just happen to know! It's a little bit difficult for me to adapt to my first language since there is not much different between "between" and "among" in speaking/written forms.
There are separate terms for "bilateral" treaty and "multilateral" treaty.
Anyway, thank you very much for your response.

Hi,
You are correct at your point.
It has just the same meaning as you said.
Thanks |
