BEIJING, June 19 (Xinhua) — China is fully prepared to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the Ministry of Commerce said Thursday.
Since submitting its formal application to join the CPTPP in September 2021, China has conducted an in-depth analysis and assessment of the content of the agreement, prepared market access applications in areas such as trade in goods, services, investment and government procurement, and held extensive exchanges of views with all other members, fully demonstrating its determination, capabilities and actions to achieve the high standards of the agreement, ministry spokesman He Yadong said at a press conference.
In the future, China will actively follow high-standard international economic and trade rules such as the CPTPP, steadily expand its institutional opening-up, and continue to carry out in-depth communication and exchanges with all members in accordance with relevant procedures, actively advancing the country’s accession to the agreement, he said.
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce hopes that CPTPP members will accelerate China’s accession process, support multilateralism and free trade through practical actions, and bring more certainty and impetus to global trade and economic development, He Yadong concluded. -0-
