*United States to Host Indo-Pacific Economic Framework Ministerial in
Detroit*

WASHINGTON – United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai and Secretary
of Commerce Gina Raimondo today announced that the United States will host
an Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) ministerial meeting in Detroit,
Michigan on May 27, 2023.

“Over the last year, the United States and our IPEF partners have made
tremendous progress in developing a robust framework that will deliver
inclusive, meaningful benefits for all of our citizens,” *said Ambassador
Katherine Tai. *“I look forward to hosting trade ministers in Detroit as we
build on this momentum and negotiate a 21st century trade framework that
addresses today’s pressing challenges.”

“I am pleased that we are maintaining positive momentum and a fast pace on
negotiations with our IPEF Partners,” *said Secretary Gina Raimondo*.
“Ambassador Tai and I look forward to hosting the IPEF Ministers in Detroit
to continue the progress we have made and deepen cooperation in the region
on our shared economic priorities.”

The ministerial will be an opportunity for Ministers to review current
progress on the work to date and provide additional direction to the
negotiators to advance progress on the framework’s four pillars.
Ambassador Tai and Secretary Raimondo will hold a press conference at the
conclusion of the ministerial on May 27.

This ministerial meeting will take place shortly after IPEF partners,
including the United States, participate in the third negotiating round in
Singapore from May 8-15, 2023.

The Detroit meeting is an important milestone in IPEF negotiations, as it
will mark one year since the framework was officially launched
