Needs and Objectives The project will conduct a strategic assessment of new and emerging issues in FTAs that can be used as reference in defining ASEAN’s “offensive and defensive” interests in FTAs, while taking into account the development gaps and different levels of readiness amongst the AMS. Guided by the strategic assessment, ASEAN is expected to formulate strategies and policy options that can serve as reference for ASEAN trade negotiators in engaging ASEAN’s existing and potential FTA partners on these new issues. This will further consolidate an ASEAN strategy and create a fresh momentum to strengthen ASEAN’s engagements with stakeholders, including the ASEAN dialogue partners, in the new and emerging areas. It will also serve to inform AEC in the development of the post-2025 vision in promoting a proactive global ASEAN. Through the project, it is envisaged that ASEAN and the individual AMS would have a better understanding of implications of the emerging FTA issues that will assist in making informed, evidence-based strategies /general approaches to these new and emerging issues towards modern, relevant FTAs.
