"Underlining the strategic importance of this agreement, we see it as an opportunity to promote the principles and values that we, as citizens of open economies and societies, share and cherish, including transparency and joint approaches to global trade challenges.

"We commend the work of the negotiators over the last 16 months, and direct them to make all possible progress over the coming year."
