SANTIAGO, March 12 (Xinhua) -- Chilean Foreign Minister Heraldo Munoz, said on Sunday that Chile hoped to send a message of maintaining a pluralistic approach to free trade in the upcoming Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Chile meeting.
Munoz said in an interview with local newspaper El Mercurio that nowadays numerous initiatives were being carried out, such as the TPP, the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership(RCEP), and the Free-Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific(FTAAP).
"We work with those who are ready for openness and integration," Munoz explained.
The meeting, to be held on March 14-15, seeks to bring together representatives from TPP countries, as well as some other countries.
While ruling out "formal agreements" signed at next week's meeting, Munoz said the meeting would show a will "to take steps once again in the direction of economic integration and openness."
