Lee: CPTPP unlikely to conclude during 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, stressing that "even if we start right now, it's almost impossible within my term" (Yonhap, Korea Times). He noted that applying for membership does not guarantee approval, and that "the possibility of not reaching a final agreement within my term is much greater" (Dong-A Ilbo, Chosun Ilbo). Lee also said he has ordered no membership application this year, and that the government will decide direction after sufficient communication with farmers and fishermen (Chosun Ilbo). He acknowledged their concerns and vowed to prevent unfair damage to agriculture, fisheries, forestry, and livestock sectors (Yonhap, Korea Times). Meanwhile, Lee called CPTPP membership "inevitable" in the long term (KBS World).
