U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said Tuesday that the 12 nations negotiating the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal have made good progress towards a final agreement. He added that some details remain to be worked out.

Mr. Kerry discussed the goals for the deal as he spoke during a visit to Singapore. He said the deal would create economic opportunities for the countries involved, and serve as an example for "good governance, transparency and accountability."

The secretary of state is in Southeast Asia to bring attention to the importance of U.S. trade and investment for the Asian and U.S. economies. He arrived late Tuesday in Kuala Lumpur, where he will attend the ASEAN meeting there Wednesday.
