BANGKOK (REUTERS) - Thailand has ratified the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade deal, its Commerce Minister said on Monday (Nov 1).
Thailand's ratification on Oct 28 would be a boost to the country's trade to the area, which accounted for 53 per cent of last year's exports, Mr Jurin Laksanawisit said in a statement.
The RCEP includes China, Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand and the 10 members of the Association of South-east Asian Nations (Asean) bloc - Brunei, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.
