Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP)

The UK has agreed to join a trade bloc called the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP). CPTPP comprises 11 Indo-Pacific states - Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. CPTPP is expected to take effect in the second half of 2024 after parliamentary scrutiny and implementing legislation.

The Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee will look at the views of the Welsh and UK governments on the UK’s accession to the CPTPP.
