The Senate has received support for the Partial Scope Trade Agreement Bill between Trinidad and Tobago and the Chile – legislation aimed at boosting economic growth and expanding local exports.

The legislation is expected to drive economic growth by giving local manufacturers and exporters preferential, duty-free access to one of Latin America’s most dynamic markets.

Speaking during debate on the Bill in the Senate, Minister of Foreign and CARICOM Affairs Sean Sobers said Chile remains a key trading partner and one of Trinidad and Tobago’s most important Latin American markets.
