ADR (treaty)

ADRs are agreements between countries that make it easier to trade goods and services between them. Think of it like a really big and important promise between two countries. When two countries make an ADR, they agree on how they will trade with each other. They also promise to follow certain rules to make sure that everything is fair and safe.

For example, let's say Country A wants to sell their delicious apples to Country B. Without an ADR, Country B might say, "We don't want to buy your apples because we don't trust that they're safe or healthy." But if there's an ADR between the two countries, they will agree on rules about how Country A grows and ships its apples, and how Country B will check to make sure they're safe and healthy. This way, both countries can trade apples (and other things) with each other, and everyone knows what's expected of them.
