Prime Minister Turnbull, along with Leaders from the 11 other countries that negotiated the TPP, issued a statement on 18 November 2015 describing the TPP as a comprehensive, balanced, and transformational regional agreement – one that spans the Pacific, strengthens links between three continents, and unites 800 million people. Leaders also said the TPP would support 21st-century commerce and provide ambitious liberalisation of trade and investment.
