PUTRAJAYA: The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) will make Malaysia a part of the superpower trade bloc of Asean with a combined population of 650 million, said Senior Minister Datuk Seri Azmin Ali.
The International Trade and Industry Minister said as exciting as free trade agreement (FTA) offers are, Malaysia will not rush into ratifying the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) unless it guarantees domestic businesses and industries will be protected.
