IDIndonesia has initiated preparatory discussions for its potential accession to the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), as confirmed by Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto. During the 10th CPTPP commission meeting, member states agreed to begin the accession process for Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United Arab Emirates. Indonesia has already aligned much of its regulatory framework with CPTPP standards and submitted a questionnaire to New Zealand, the agreement's depositary country. The minister expressed confidence in completing the necessary legal adjustments to meet CPTPP requirements and aims to secure full membership by 2027. He highlighted support from the United Kingdom, demonstrated through the Indonesia-UK Economic Growth Partnership signed in January 2026, and emphasized the economic benefits of CPTPP membership, including expanded trade opportunities, improved customs procedures, and strengthened protections for investments and intellectual property.
