In the context of the growing awareness of the important role of trade cooperation at different levels and perspectives, promoting the signing of new generation FTAs ​​with the modification scope that beyond the basic commercial problems is essential. The new generation FTAs have created opportunities and challenges to the Vietnamese legal system, including regulations on the environmental field.

This paper aims at analyzing the effects of the new generation FTAs ​​on the development of Vietnamese laws and regulations on sustainable management of forest resources. As a result, it provides recommendations to improve Vietnamese law in such area in order to increase implementation efficiency of environmental commitments in the FTAs ​​to which Vietnam is a member.
