Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership

【词义解析 Definition

《区域全面经济伙伴关系协定》(RCEP)由东盟十国于2012年发起,邀请中国、日本、韩国、澳大利亚、新西兰、印度共同参加,旨在通过削减关税及非关税壁垒,建立统一市场的自由贸易协定。

2019年11月4日,第三次区域全面经济伙伴关系协定(RCEP)领导人会议在泰国曼谷举行。与会领导人在会后发表联合声明。声明说,在当今快速改变的全球环境下,RCEP谈判的完成将展现成员国对致力于共同打造一个跨区域的、开放的贸易和投资环境的承诺。RCEP将显著促进本地区未来发展,为全球经济作出积极贡献,并成为多边贸易体系的有力支柱。

声明说,RCEP15个成员国已经结束全部文本谈判及实质上所有市场准入谈判,并将尽快准备好完整法律文本,以确保2020年签署协议。印度有重要问题尚未得到解决,所有RCEP成员国将通过合作,以各方满意的方式解决这些问题。
