KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will continue to take part in the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) negotiations despite the reported failure of the 12 countries to clinch a deal at the latest round of talks.

International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Mustapa Mohamed said that if Malaysia concluded the TPP negotiations, the text of the agreement would first be presented to the public and Parliament for debate.
