    SINGAPORE and China will do their best to expedite talks on the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), Singapore's foreign minister said, calling the potential pact a statement on the importance of free trade.

    The Beijing-backed RCEP has been given new impetus by US President Donald Trump's withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, to which China is not party.
