Thailand preparing CPTPP application
Thailand will apply this month to join the new trans-Pacific free trade agreement, aiming to ensure it is not left behind by its competitors in the vibrant region, according to the country’s trade negotiations chief.
“Thailand is working with the documents for applying to the CPTPP,” said Auramon Supthaweethum, director-general of the Trade Negotiations Department at the Commerce Ministry, referring to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership that entered into force last Dec 30 and currently involves 11 countries.
