The Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement is an important international multilateral economic negotiation organization, formerly known as the Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement (P4).
The Trans-Pacific Strategic Economic Partnership Agreement is a set of multilateral free trade agreements initiated by New Zealand, Singapore, Chile and Brunei, members of APEC, and brewed in 2002. It was originally named the Asia-Pacific Free Trade Area to promote trade liberalization in the Asia-Pacific region.
The TPP agreement has more provisions than any previous free trade agreement. It includes not only the provisions of traditional free trade agreements such as trade in goods, trade in services, investment and rules of origin, but also the provisions that are not covered or rarely covered by most free trade agreements in the Asia-Pacific region, such as intellectual property rights, labor, environment, temporary entry, state-owned enterprises, government procurement, finance, development, capacity building, regulatory consistency, transparency and anti-corruption.
