Tonga signing

PACER Plus signing in Tonga

Representatives from all 14 participating members, including New Zealand, Australia, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Nauru, Kiribati, Niue, Palau, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu, will be in Nuku’alofa, Tonga to sign the agreement.

It has been challenging getting the agreement over the line, and the successful conclusion of PACER Plus negotiations in Brisbane is a landmark day for trade and the sustainable economic development of the Pacific, NZ Trade Minister Todd McClay says.
