Korea is pushing to wrap up the second round of negotiations on joining the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific
Partnership... or more commonly known as... T-P-P.
A high-level official from Seoul's trade ministry says... Korea plans to round off the deal
next month... after holding a series of two-way meetings with participating countries.
The TPP is an effort by the U.S. to increase its economic presence in the Asia-Pacific
region. Negotiations for the trade deal currently
involve 12 countries. The Korean government finished its first round
of consultations with the TPP nations early this month... after first expressing its interest
to join late last year.
