CPTPP nations have agreed to the UK’s bid to begin the accession process to join the Trans-Pacific Partnership
CPTPP nations have today (Wednesday 2 June) agreed to the UK’s bid to begin the accession process to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
The UK will continue to work closely with Japan, as this year’s chair of the CPTPP commission, alongside the other CPTPP nations to progress negotiations as quickly as possible.
International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said:
The government will publish its outline approach, scoping assessment, and consultation response before negotiations start in the coming weeks.
