CPTPP
Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership
Joining the Pacific trade deal is a reckless gamble by a government willing to sacrifice British farmers, workers and the planet in its desperation for a symbolic success.
So what exactly is the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership — and why did the U.K. get its foot in the door?
Britain struck a deal to join an 11-country trans-Pacific trade pact which includes Japan and Australia as it looks to deepen ties in the region and build its global trade links after leaving the European Union.
Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen called on Britain to support its bid to join a major pan-Pacific free trade pact which London has also applied to enter.
‘Global Britain’ needs new friends and trading partners as the economic harm from Brexit becomes clear.
Investors from the United States, Mexico or Canada in the territory of one of the other two investment hosting states, who may have been adversely affected by the host government’s measures, need to act by the end of March 2023 to preserve NAFTA rights.
Britain’s trade chief Kemi Badenoch and her Canadian counterpart Mary Ng settled differences in a move that bodes well for the UK's post-Brexit hopes of joining a key Indo-Pacific trade bloc.
Along with Mexico, Canada is pushing for the UK to offer the same market access it granted on agriculture as it did in pacts with Australia and New Zealand.
She raised concerns on the cumulative impact of the trade deals with New Zealand and Australia, as well as on the current negotiations with Canada and Mexico, both members of CPTPP which the UK is hoping to join this year.
Ministers and officials from members of the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership and the UK on attended an online ministerial meeting to discuss the negotiations of the UK’s accession to the deal.
