In addition to the bilateral FTA, Vietnamese enterprises have more options when conducting import and export trade activities with South Korea, thanks to the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) that took effect last year. Another FTA is the ASEAN - Korea Free Trade Agreement (AKFTA).
