The Ministry of Industry and Trade will coordinate with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Justice and relevant sectors to carry out the task.
The CPTPP, which came into force in Vietnam on January 14, saw the participation of 11 member states, namely Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam that altogether make up 13.4 percent of the global GDP.
The pact was signed in March 2018 and officially took effect on December 30 the same year in Mexico, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia – the first six countries to ratify it.
