The leaders' meeting had been scheduled for 0145 local time (0645 GMT), but Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau failed to show up, according to people familiar with the matter. Even before the planned meeting, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe had told the president of Peru -- a TPP member -- that he welcomed a broad agreement reached at the TPP ministerial meeting. The original 12 countries had reached agreement on the TPP in 2016, but Mr Trump withdrew, throwing its very survival into doubt. Malaysia is one of the 11 TPP countries. Countering Mr Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Asia-Pacific nations must "uphold multilateralism".
