Singapore, New Zealand, Chile, and Brunei concluded a high-standard agreement in 2006 on which the Trans-Pacific Partnership is based, and sought to expand the agreement, which now also includes the United States, which joined in late 2009, as well as Australia, Malaysia, Peru, and Vietnam. Mexico and Canada have been invited to join and will enter negotiations soon.
The trade agreement under negotiation aims to support the creation and retention of jobs in the Trans-Pacific Partnership countries, strengthen Asia-Pacific relations, and eventually create a free-trade area across the region. Ambassador Marantis noted that through this agreement, the United States is seeking to set ambitious trade standards, including ensuring worker rights and protecting the environment.
Heading into the 14th round of negotiations, to be held September 6th to 15th in Leesburg, Virginia, the Trans-Pacific partners will continue their work to develop a comprehensive agreement that covers not only the trading of goods, but also of traditional and emerging services.美国与其它八个跨太平洋集团成员国一道，为建立一套广泛的贸易协议作出了卓越的成绩，近日美国贸易副代表Demetrios Marantis于华盛顿如是说。
新加坡、新西兰、智利和文莱于2006年缔结了一份高水准协议。这份协议是针对跨太平洋集团议定的，旨在扩大成员国数量，现在已经涵盖澳大利亚、马来西亚、秘鲁、越南还有2009年末加入的美国了。墨西哥和加拿大也已受邀，即将为加入一事进行商议。
议定的贸易协议旨在维护、增加跨太平洋集团成员国就业机会，加强亚太伙伴关系，最终把该地区建设成为自由贸易区。大使Marantis指出，通过这份协议，美国正在设定颇为苛刻的贸易准则，包括保障工人权益和环保等方面的工作。
在即将于九月六日至十五日召开的第十四届利兹堡会谈中，跨太平洋集团成员国将继续就制定覆盖面广泛的协议进行协商，该协议不仅涉及实物贸易，还包括传统与新兴的服务贸易。
