The Vietnam_EAEU free trade agreement (FTA): performance review and strategic outlook after a decade

This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the past decade of Vietnam–EAEU cooperation under the FTA framework, highlighting key achievements, identifying existing limitations, and examining strategic prospects. Employing qualitative and quantitative methods with data derived from official sources, the study finds that while the FTA has fostered positive changes in trade flows, the results remain disproportionate to the substantial cooperation potential between the parties. Nonetheless, strong political commitment, improvements in logistics and payment systems, and plans to expand investment into emerging sectors suggest promising future cooperation.
