Britain is poised to sign a bumper post-Brexittrade pact with Pacific nations within days. The deal will be worth tens of billions of pounds for UK businesses.
Officials are putting the finishing touches to reach a "broad agreement" on joining the 11-nation Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
Rishi Sunak’s official spokesman said ministers were due to discuss CPTPP with their counterparts this week and there would be an update at the "earliest possible opportunity".
The UK first applied to join the £9trillion bloc in early 2021 and accession is a major part of its wider post-Brexit foreign policy shift toward the Indo-Pacific.
Members include Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Japan, Chile, Vietnam and Malaysia.
