THE AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING THE ASEAN – AUSTRALIA – NEW ZEALAND FREE TRADE AREA (AANZFTA)

The ASEAN-Australia dialogue relationship has evolved and matured considerably since Australia became ASEAN's very first Dialogue Partner more than three decades ago in 1974.

Over the years, ASEAN-Australia partnership has been constantly strengthened and enhanced. The Leaders of ASEAN and Australia, together with New Zealand, met in 2004 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of their dialogue relations. At the ASEAN Summit in 2004, the Leaders adopted the Joint Declaration of the Leaders at the ASEAN-Australia and New Zealand Commemorative Summit to further broaden and deepen their dialogue relations in all fields including political, economic and socio-cultural cooperation.

With the substantive relationship with ASEAN built over 35 years, ASEAN and Australia are gearing up for the 1st ever ASEAN-Australia Summit that would be convened in October 2010.
