After sixth ratification, the Comprehensive and Progressive Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) to enter into force on December 30, 2018

On October 31, 2018, Australia became the sixth state to formally ratify the CPTPP, along with Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand and Singapore. This triggered a 60-day countdown for the agreement to enter into force on December 30, 2018. Brunei Darussalam, Chile, Malaysia, Peru and Vietnam have yet to ratify the agreement. The CPTPP was signed in Santiago, Chile, on March 8, 2018.
