Argentine ​Foreign Minister Pablo Quirno said ‌on Tuesday (2) the country intends to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for ​Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) and will ​present its application on Wednesday in ⁠Paris.

The CPTPP is a free ​trade accord among 12 countries. It was ​first established in 2018 among Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, ​Peru, Singapore and Vietnam. Britain joined ​in 2024 and China also hopes to ‌join.

Argentina’s ⁠plans to join the pact follow its backing for other trade deals in recent months, including a ​reciprocal trade ​and ⁠investment agreement with the United States and the Mercosur-European Union ​agreement.

“We will continue to ​make ⁠rapid progress on these agreements,” Quirno said during a virtual address to ⁠the ​43rd Congress of ​the Argentine Institute of Finance Executives.
