costs; increase intra-regional trade and investment; increase economic
efficiency; create a larger market with greater opportunities and larger
economies of scale for the businesses of the Parties; and enhance the

among ASEAN Member States and the need for flexibility, including the need to
facilitate the increasing participation of Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Viet

domestic capacity, efficiency and competitiveness;
Reaffirming the rights, obligations and undertakings of
the respective parties under the World Trade Organisation (WTO), and other
