The country’s participation in the course of Free Trade Agreement (FTA) began in the early 1990s. Vietnam through unremitting efforts, has been built for all-round, multi-angle network of FTA which has greatly promoted the economic development. In 2016, as the beginning of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP), the launch of the FTA status as gradually improved in the process of economic development in Vietnam. Therefore, in order to get more information of the Vietnam’s future economic development direction and Vietnam’s strategy of the country, paying more attention to Vietnam’s participate in FTA study is very necessary.On the basis of all studies of all kinds of literature, the author catching Vietnam’s domestic abroad background and the timing of participation in FTA.
