The Importance of Bilateral and Multilateral Regional Trade Agreements and Cooperation in the 21st Century

International economic cooperation is particularly important and must be a priority for all countries in the world to bring peace, prosperity, progress, and inclusive economic development and growth for the world population. All countries must recognise the importance and share a vision of economic cooperation, collaboration, partnerships, peace, mutual respect, friendship, and trust required between bordering neighbours, trading partners across land locked countries or nations across the oceans; in order to promote bilateral, regional, or multilateral trade, tourism, investment opportunities for sustainable economic development, inclusive growth, prosperity, and growth in gross domestic product (GDP) and achieve United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for all global citizens.
