The move to join the trade pact which includes Singapore, Japan and Australia - comes as Britain seeks to build ties around the world after leaving the European Union in 2020.
In a post on LinkedIn on Friday, Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong congratulated Britain on the "significant milestone", which came after almost two years of negotiations.
"The UK's accession to the CPTPP will provide more business opportunities and make it easier for Singapore companies navigating the UK market," added Mr Gan.
He said it further enhances the countries' strong bilateral economic relationship, which is underpinned by various agreements, namely the UK-Singapore Free Trade Agreement, the UK-Singapore Digital Economy Agreement and the UKSingapore Green Economy Framework.
Mr S. Iswaran, Minister-in-charge of Trade Relations, mirrored this sentiment in a post, also on LinkedIn.
