Vietnam joined the Association of South East Asian Nations in 1995, and that opened its gate afterward for participating in the Free Trade Areas (FTAs) with regional and international partners. The pace of Vietnam’s economic integration through FTAs gathered momentum since 2001. By 2016, it has singed 12 FTAs, of which eight have already become operational, and is negotiating another four for formation. With this FTA endeavour, Vietnam is set to emerge as an FTA hub along with Singapore and Thailand in the South East Asian region. In selecting partners and signing FTAs, Vietnam maintains a distinct economic and political strategy. The participation in older and new-generation FTAs has brought both opportunities and challenges to Vietnam. This study aims at examining and discussing the FTA drive of Vietnam to emerge as an FTA hub, identifying the achievements and challenges appeared in the process, and proposing some measures for Vietnam to address the FTA related challenges in the coming years.
