Comprehensive And Progressive Agreement For Trans-Pacific Partnership

Background

On 4 February 2016, 12 TPP Ministers signed the TPPA in Auckland, New Zealand. However, it could not be implemented following the withdrawal of the United States from the agreement on 23 January 2017.

In May 2017, the TPP Ministers unanimously agreed that the agreement can still benefit the remaining member countries. On 11 November 2017, the TPP Ministers met during the APEC Summit and announced that all member countries have agreed on the core elements to implement the Agreement which is now renamed as the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

Malaysia together with the original 10 countries from TPPA namely Australia, Brunei, Chile, Japan, Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Viet Nam signed the CPTPP on 8 March 2018. The CPTPP is an agreement to implement the obligations of the TPPA with the postponement of 22 original provisions under the TPPA.
