Korea is pushing to wrap up the second round of negotiations on joining the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific
Partnership... An 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 involve 12 countries at the present time.
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.
