Business organizations from around the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation region – including the U.S. Business Coalition for TPP – joined together on the eve of the APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Russia to urge the completion of the Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations. The organizations would like to see the completion of a comprehensive agreement that holds to the ambitious aims set for the final agreement as soon as possible in 2013.
The U.S. Business Coalition for TPP is a broad-based and cross-sectoral group of U.S. companies and associations – including the American Soybean Association – that have joined together to promote the U.S. negotiation of a comprehensive, high-standard and commercially meaningful TPP agreement with Australia, Brunei, Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Canada and Mexico are joining the negotiations next month
