Mexico City | Reuters –– A ministerial meeting aimed at working toward a deal for the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact has been set for May 26-28, the head of Chile’s trade body said on Thursday.
“The meeting is agreed, from the 26th to the 28th of May,” said Andres Rebolledo, head of the Chilean government’s trade body Direcon.
The TPP, when agreed, will cover 40 per cent of the world economy and includes the U.S., Canada, Australia and Japan.
According to Canada’s international trade ministry, the next TPP officials’ meeting, ahead of the ministers’ meeting, runs May 14-25 in Guam.
