Summary/Abstract: The Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP) can play a major role in a constantly changing world of economic interdependencies because of the potential and capabilities of the member countries. The size and high growth rates of several economies from Pacific Asia, North and South America enhance integration efforts undertaken at both the political and economic levels. This article describes the role of Commonwealth members in the building of Trans Pacific Partnership. From the very beginning of the integration, Commonwealth member states were in the majority and had a decisive influence on the actions taken. The desire to increase cooperation in the field of economic relations, and the liberalization of world trade were also the basis for creation of Commonwealth, as it was stated in The Singapore Declaration of Commonwealth Principles, which defined the goals of the organization. The role of Canada and Australia was particularly analyzed because of their size and potential.
