TPP leaders meet to seek ways forward on landmark trade deal
Leaders of the 12 countries that signed the Trans-Pacific Partnership met to seek ways forward on the landmark trade deal, which hangs in the balance following Mr Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election.
The meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) Summit, yielded no joint statement.
US President-elect Donald Trump won on an anti-free trade platform, imperilling the TPP as it can come into force only if it is approved by six countries that account for at least 85 per cent of the group's economic output.
This means that ratification by the United States, given the giant size of its economy, is essential. The other countries include Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam.

Football: Arsenal frustrate Mourinho, Toure back with a bang
Jose Mourinho was left frustrated as Arsenal rescued a late 1-1 draw at Manchester United, while Yaya Toure was back in Pep Guardiola's good books with a brace in Manchester City's 2-1 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Olivier Giroud converted Arsenal's first effort on target in the 89th minute to salvage a point for Arsene Wenger's side after Juan Mata's 69th-minute strike looked to have earned United a much-needed win.
Arsenal remain without a league win at Old Trafford in 10 years and Wenger has still not beaten Mourinho in the league in 12 attempts.
