Lee: CPTPP entry unlikely during his term

President Lee Jae Myung said Monday that South Korea is unlikely to join the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) during his term, calling membership "inevitable" in the long term while stressing the need to lay groundwork. Yonhap reports Lee acknowledged farmers' and fishermen's concerns over potential entry, vowing to prevent unfair damage. KBS World quotes Lee saying it would be difficult not to pursue membership in the long run, during a gathering with farmers.
