Vietnam attends TTP Agreement negotiations in Singapore

A Vietnamese delegation led by Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Quoc Khanh joined the sixth round of negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership (TPP Agreement) in Singapore from March 27 to April 1.

Also taking part in the negotiation were more than 400 negotiators from Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, Peru, the US and Singapore.

This round of negotiations focused on commodity trade, cross-border service trade, investment, public spending, policies on competition, intellectual property, the environment and customs cooperation.

TPP members achieved encouraging results which will serve as the foundation for promoting negotiations in the near future.

Many businesspeople and scholars were also invited to take part in a round-table discussion on the sidelines of the talks to update information and share their views with the negotiators on measures to make the TPP Agreement more beneficial for businesses of all member countries.
