Charles Finny: former NZ trade negotiator says CPTPP agreement allows New Zealand to have a hand in determining future trade rules

Delegates and global ministers are convening in Auckland as New Zealand hosts 11 nations for a top-level meeting. The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) is the fastest growing trade bloc in the world, and the UK is set to sign the deal. Former New Zealand trade negotiator Charles Finny says the CPTPP agreement is good for New Zealand, as it allows the nation to have a hand in determining future trade deals. "For a start, it's delivered us a free trade agreement with Japan." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
