RCEP, the world's biggest free trade agreement, was initiated by ASEAN countries back in 2011.
区域全面经济伙伴关系（RCEP）是世界上最大的自由贸易协定，于2011年由东盟国家发起倡议。
The agreement would link the ten ASEAN members and their five free trade agreement partners: China, Japan, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand.
该协议把十个东盟成员国与其五个自由贸易协议伙伴联系起来：中国，日本，韩国，澳大利亚和新西兰。
It encompasses 2.2 billion people and accounts for around 30 percent of the global GDP. It will cut as much as 90 percent of the tariffs on imports.
它涵盖了22亿人口，约占全球GDP的30％，将削减高达90％的进口关税。
It also aims to improve market access for goods and services for participating countries, attracting foreign companies to enter into a more integrated ASEAN.
它还旨在为参与国改善商品和服务的市场准入，吸引外国公司加入更加一体化的东盟。
The signing of RCEP is also believed to help in the recovery of the pandemic-hit regional economy by ensuring open markets and an uninterrupted supply chain.
RCEP的签署也将通过确保开放的市场和不间断的供应链来帮助恢复受大流行打击的区域经济。
Three of the five free trade agreement partners China, Japan and South Korea had been stepping up cooperation with ASEAN. At the 21st ASEAN plus three foreign ministers’ meeting held in September, the ministers committed to enhancing cooperation in regional economic stability, as well as joint efforts in combating the pandemic.
A key topic for further negotiations is likely to be e-commerce, given the growing demand of online trade.
鉴于在线贸易的需求不断增长，接下来进一步谈判的主题很可能是电子商务。
More countries could also join the RCEP grouping in the future. The global pandemic means the importance of the RCEP continues to grow, it shows the protection of the multilateral trading system, and also support for regional integration, as well as economic development across the region.
