The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), a landmark global trade pact, seeks to advance trade liberalization, investment efficiency, and regional economic cohesion among participating nations. As an emerging economy, Vietnam’s entry into the CPTPP in 2018 has profoundly shaped its international trade trajectory and redefined trade dynamics within the bloc. Through empirical analysis and theoretical frameworks, this study evaluates the implications of Vietnam’s CPTPP membership. Key findings reveal that tariff reductions, market access expansion, and enhanced investment conditions have driven significant export growth, industrial modernization, and deeper regional supply chain linkages. However, challenges such as intensified competition, regulatory compliance demands, and technical barriers persist. By integrating case studies and quantitative assessments, this research offers actionable insights for stakeholders to navigate shifting global trade paradigms.
