TPP Talks Make Further Headway

The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has stated that the prospective Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade partners – Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US, and Vietnam – made further strong headway during the recent eleventh round of negotiations in Melbourne.

Over the nine days of talks, more than 20 working groups met to discuss the legal texts of the agreement, which cover all aspects of the commercial relations between the TPP countries.
