World's biggest trade pact
全球最大自貿協定簽署
After eight years of negotiations, 15 Asia-Pacific countries on Sunday signed the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), the world's biggest trade pact, a move considered a massive coup for regional economic integration, multilateralism and free trade.
歷時8年談判，亞太15國于11月15日正式簽署區域全面經濟伙伴關系協定(RCEP)，這是全球最大的自貿協定。RCEP協定的簽署被認為是區域經濟一體化、多邊主義和自由貿易的巨大勝利。
The agreement involves all 10 member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and five of its major trading partners - China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
RCEP成員國包括東盟10國與它們的五個主要貿易伙伴——中國、日本、韓國、澳大利亞和新西蘭。
The RCEP agreement covers a market of 2.2 billion people, or almost 30% of the world's population, with a combined GDP of $26.2 trillion, or about 30% of global GDP.
RCEP協定覆蓋22億人口，約占世界總人口的30%，GDP總規模達26.2萬億美元，約占全球經濟總量的30%。
It is an unprecedented regional trading arrangement that comprises a diverse mix of developed, developing and least developed economies in the region, according to a joint statement issued by leaders of the participating countries.
RCEP成員國領導人在一份聯合聲明中稱，RCEP協定是一項前所未有的、由域內發達國家、發展中國家和最不發達國家參與的大型區域貿易安排。
The agreement "is critical to the region's response to the COVID-19 pandemic and will play an important role in building the region's resilience through an inclusive and sustainable post-pandemic economic recovery process," leaders said in the statement.
