Cambodia has been invited to join the Washington-brokered Transpacific Trade Partnership (TPP), which has been described as a deal that will create the largest free-trade zone in the world if it is implemented, a senior official from the Ministry of Economy and Finance said. Ros Seilava, under-secretary of state at the ministry, said the invitation was made during a recent visit by Cambodian officials to Washington. He also said that the TPP might see changes after the next election in the United States and that these could include its expansion to include more countries.

The government has established a study group to prepare for inclusion in the TPP, he added. Mr. Seilava made the comments on the sidelines of the “Cambodia in 2016: What to Expect” gala dinner on Saturday night. The event was organized by the Enrich Institute and sponsored by Khmer Times.
