Abstract

The free trade agreement (FTA) among ASEAN has been implemented since 1967. Up to now, ten countries have been ASEAN members. Besides owning one FTA among them, ASEAN has also strengthened their trade relation with other countries to promote trade and economic growth. ASEAN signed FTAs with six big countries, called ASEAN plus 6, from 2004 to 2010. The more expanding their FTA trade relation is, the more concentrating they export to Vietnam.

The fact is that the more ASEAN countries invest in Vietnam, the more they export to Vietnam and concentrate on some types of commodities. The export of ASEAN countries which invest less in Vietnam has been hardly impacted by ASEAN expansion.
