NZ PM to front TPP talks after Obama's no-show
He will chair FTA meeting with leaders of S'pore and 10 other nations
WITH US President Barack Obama stranded at home over a budget stalemate with the Republicans, the man in the hot seat for today's Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) talks is New Zealand Prime Minister John Key.
Mr Key will chair the high-level meeting on the free-trade agreement with the leaders of Singapore and 10 other countries in Bali as they try to make a concerted push towards the finish line.
All the TPP members are currently on the Indonesian resort island to attend the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) summit.
