Exploring Institutional Trade Links Between EU Frameworks and Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) Structures

8 Mr Jackson Lam asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry (Trade) whether Singapore is exploring trade institutional links with the European Union (EU) frameworks and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) structures.

Mr Gan Kim Yong: A Trade and Investment Dialogue between members of the European Union (EU) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) was established in November 2025. The dialogue is to deepen economic linkages between the two blocs who are committed to free and open markets and rules-based trade. Areas of collaboration being worked on relate to supply chain resilience, digital trade and supporting the global trade environment. Singapore is active in the dialogue and will continue to build and strengthen economic relations globally.
