Two more meetings are planned to try to wrap up the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) trade pact before an Asean summit next month, Thai Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit

Senior officials from 16 nations will meet next week in Bangkok to discuss the remaining key elements, while RCEP ministers will convene again on November 1 before the Asean summit, which
is also in the Thai capital, Jurin said.
Thailand earlier hoped to conclude all key elements.
