The AANZFTA entered into force on 1 January 2010.
AANZFTA is Australia’s first multi-country free trade agreement (FTA). It is the first time Australia and New Zealand have been involved jointly in negotiating an FTA with third countries.
It was also the first time ASEAN had embarked on FTA negotiations covering all sectors, including goods, services, investment and intellectual property simultaneously. This makes it the most comprehensive trade agreement ASEAN has ever negotiated.
