Japan-UK: “Progressive” Ties and A Case for Britain in the CPTPP
April 13, 2021
Research Fellow, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Dr. Jagannath Panda’s Issue Brief ‘Japan-UK: “Progressive” Ties and A Case for Britain in the CPTPP’ has been published by the Institute for Security and Development Policy (ISDP), Sweden, on April 13, 2021.
The brief argues that the UK’s entry into the landmark CPTPP agreement, led by Japan, could be a breakthrough in advancing Britain’s global ambitions as an independent trading nation and encourage a stronger cross-continental collaboration. It would not only act as a gateway for the UK to become an active player in the Indo-Pacific, but also substantiate the global overture of Japan-UK ties and strengthen their collaboration in the face of shared challenges. It can, in other words, help transform an already strong Japan-UK relationship into a global partnership.
