    SINGAPORE is "heartened" by a decision made by parties to the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) to continue looking into how they can reap the benefits of the mega trade deal, even as no decision was made on its future.

    On Tuesday and Wednesday, the remaining 11 members of the TPP met in Chile for the first time since President Donald Trump's executive order to pull the US out of the deal, which effectively prevented the TPP from coming into force in its current state.
