The trade deal, signed in March, is the successor to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agreement, a similar deal that included the US. However, President Donald Trump withdrew the US from the TPP soon after he was elected.

The CPTPP will cut tariffs on agricultural and industrial products, ease investment regulations and enhance protection of intellectual property.

The 11 member countries of CPTPP hope that the trade pact will help counter to growing protectionism. Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore became the first six members to ratify the pact, setting the stage for its entry into force.
