06:34 AM EDT, 09/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK and Singapore launched negotiations for a new mutual recognition agreement on pharmaceutical good manufacturing practice aimed at reducing regulatory duplication and cutting trade costs, according to a Wednesday release. The agreement will allow the UK's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency and Singapore's Health Sciences Authority to rely on each other's laboratory inspection results, making medicines trade between the two markets more efficient by reducing administrative barriers while maintaining regulatory requirements.
