Minister Malcolm Turnbull is in Vietnam to strike politically sensitive
regional trade and security deals, according to the SBS World News.
The PM is
keen to urge world leaders at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit to
embrace free trade and turn their backs on protectionism.
He will also
be pushing for an 11-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to be sealed at
APEC, after the US pulled out of the pact.
The TPP was signed in February 2016
by Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Peru, Singapore, the US and Vietnam, covering around 40 percent of the global
economy before the US’s withdrawal earlier this year.-VNA
