The UK’s accession to the deal would potentially be a major game changer, turning the CPTPP into a like-minded middle-power club that promotes liberal economic norms. As this year’s chair of the CPTPP commission, Japan is likely to be a key player in the negotiation. The implications of the UK’s accession will be wide-ranging for the CPTPP nations (and in particular for Japan), for the UK, for the EU and for the global trading system as a whole. This webinar will gather experts to compare notes on the UK’s accession to the CPTPP and its various implications.
The webinar will be held in English.
