Abstract

On November 12, 2018, the National Assembly of Vietnam vetoed a Resolution ratification of the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership and became the seventh member of the agreement. Joining the agreement is considered to bring many economic benefits to Vietnam, but besides that, this also left many challenges, especially in the issue of compliance with environmental commitments in this Agreement. Starting from that fact, the article focuses on (i) analyzing and clarifying some of the environmental commitments in the CPTPP, (ii) pointing out some of Vietnam's challenges in complying with the implementation of environmental commitments in this Agreement, (iii) thereby making a number of final recommendations.

Keyword: CPTPP Agreement, implementation of commitments, environmental protection, Vietnam.
