On Wednesday, May 15, JETRO will present a Symposium on Asia-Pacific Economic Integration and the Role of the US and Japan. Countries throughout the Asia-Pacific region continue to pursue agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the Japan-China-Korea FTA and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) between ASEAN, Japan, China, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand. Experts from the US, Japan, China and Singapore will discuss the increasingly intricate web of bilateral & multilateral free trade agreements and discuss the challenges and opportunities they bring. This analysis and dialogue will be of particular significance to the Chicago business community with business and investment interests in East Asia.
