V Signing RCEP - a landmark achievement of East Asian regional cooperation

After eight years of unremitting efforts, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement was formally signed on Nov 15.

The signing of the pact highlights that open cooperation is still a historical trend and joint efforts to reach mutually beneficial and win-win results are still popular.

The signing of the RCEP will help remove obstacles in the ongoing negotiations for a trilateral free trade agreement between China and its partners.
