CPTPP – a ‘regional’ trade deal redefined

Published 1 May 2024

Series 5, Episode 6 - Later this year, the UK will join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement on Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) bringing a whole new meaning to the expression ‘regional trade agreement’.

Joining Chris Horseman (Borderlex) to discuss this topic are Minako Morita-Jaeger (CITP), Rob Cook (Department for Business and Trade) and Manuel Tong Koecklin (CITP/UKTPO).
