The Prime Minister's once again shared her hopes for the United States to enter the CPTTP agreement

The Comprehensive and Progressive Trans Pacific Partnership was a major trade policy of the Obama Adminstration - but Donald Trump withdraw the US from it in 2017.

Jacinda Ardern made the sentiment while taking part in a US Business Summit in Auckland - joined by business leaders and members of the Biden administration.

She says it remains important for the US to be present and engaged in the economic architecture of our region.

Ardern says resilience and stability in our region is not solely defined by defence or military arrangements, but relationships in many forms.
