I’m proud that the UK will be the first European country to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership. This is free trading global Britain in action #CPTPP 🇬🇧

#CPTPP is a vital economic bulwark against China & in due course I’d like to see like-minded free trading nations making their own applications to join. It’s essential that any idea of Chinese accession is ruled out & I’d expect the British government to oppose any such proposal. twitter.com/trussliz/statu…

4/ In the early hours of this morning we struck the biggest trade deal since Brexit as the UK joins the #CPTPP, a vast free trade area spanning the Indo-Pacific.
I’d like to thank @KemiBadenoch and our trade negotiators for securing this win for British business & growth.

As Trade Sec, I made our application to join #CPTPP two years ago. I'm delighted negotiations are complete, deepening UK access to some of the world's fastest-growing economies: #GlobalBritain in action and an important counterweight to those who seek to undermine our values. 1/2

#オーストラリア のスコット・ #モリソン #首相 は、22日の記者会見で、中国を念頭に、貿易相手国に経済的脅迫を行う国は、環太平洋パートナーシップに関する包括的及び先進的な協定（ #CPTPP ）の加盟条件を満たしていないと強調した。

Today I named TSMC Founder Morris Chang as my envoy to the upcoming #APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting hosted by #NewZealand. I know he will continue to be an effective advocate for #Taiwan's key role in regional economic cooperation & the benefits of our inclusion in #CPTPP.

Words of wisdom from @HonTonyAbbott at @yushanforum. "Be a friend … & you’ll have friends; be a bully, & you’ll only have clients, who can’t wait to escape." We value the ex-PM of #Australia's🇦🇺 support for #Taiwan🇹🇼, its democracy & #CPTPP bid. Rest assured, we’ll stay free!🔽 twitter.com/HonTonyAbbott/…

Absolute privilege to have @HonTonyAbbott with us in #Taiwan. It's great to break bread with the former prime minister of #Australia. He's a fair dinkum free trader & bold backer of our #CPTPP bid. Thanks for the support & all the best for the @yushanforum keynote, my friend! JW

.@DanTehanWannon of @Austrade's commitment to "work with the #CPTPP membership to consider #Taiwan's🇹🇼 application on a consensus basis" is warmly welcomed. We value the support of #Australia🇦🇺, #Japan🇯🇵 & other fair-minded #AsiaPacific free traders.🔽

台湾の #CPTPP 加盟申請を歓迎し、蔡英文政権下で進めてきた加盟準備の進展を認めてくださった安倍晋三前首相に感謝します。台湾は日本と肩を並べ、自由、民主主義、人権、法の支配という基本的価値を促進しています。 twitter.com/AbeShinzo/stat…

Our gratitude to @AbeShinzo for welcoming Taiwan's #CPTPP application & recognizing the country's real progress under @iingwen in preparing for membership. #Taiwan🇹🇼 stands shoulder to shoulder with #Japan🇯🇵 in promoting freedom, democracy, human rights & the rule of law. twitter.com/AbeShinzo/stat…

#Taiwan🇹🇼 is an avowed free trader. The country's #CPTPP application is a natural policy progression promising to deliver real benefits for the #AsiaPacific. We're grateful for our partners' consideration & look forward to doing more in promoting sustainable economic development.
