      The  conclusion  of  the  Trans-Pacific  Strategic  Economic  Partnership  (TPP)  Agreement negotiations  on  5 October  2015  has  been  hailed  by  the  twelve participating countries  as  a landmark for regional economic  integration. The agreement  is also seen by many experts as having  far-reaching  regional  and global  strategic implications. As  a member  of  the  TPP, Vietnam will stand to benefit from the agreement both economically and strategically, but the country will also be faced with considerable challenges. How Vietnam will capitalize upon the opportunities  and  handle  the  challenges  may  shape  the  country’s economic,  political  and strategic trajectory for years to come.
