RCEP trade pact on track for 2020 signing - ministers
The world's biggest trade pact, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), will be signed later this year, participating countries said in a statement on Tuesday, adding that the coronavirus pandemic had increased the deal's importance.
RCEP brings together the 10-member Asean, China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. India pulled out of talks last November, but members have said the door remains open to New Delhi.
