SINGAPORE WELCOMES US ANNOUNCEMENT TO ENGAGE THE TRANS-PACIFIC PARTNERSHIP
Singapore welcomes the announcement by US President Barack Obama in Tokyo this morning that the US will engage the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (TPP) partners. With this commitment from the US, the TPP now has the potential to expand to a 8-member grouping with Australia, Peru, US and Vietnam joining the original four members, Brunei, Chile, New Zealand and Singapore.
