Free trade initiatives in ASEAN are led by the implementation of the ASEAN Trade in Goods Agreement
(ATIGA) and the Agreement on Customs. These agreements are supported by work done by several sector
bodies to plan and to execute free trade measures, guided by the provisions and the requirements of ATIGA
and the Agreement on Customs. The progress being made by these sector bodies forms the backbone for
achieving the targets of the AEC Blueprint and establishing the ASEAN Economic Community by the end of
2015.
The year 2007 was the 40th anniversary of ASEAN’s formation. It also marked 30 years of diplomatic
relations with the USA. On 26 August 2007, ASEAN stated that it aims to complete all of its free trade
agreements with China, Japan, South Korea, India, Australia, and New Zealand by 2013. This is in line with
the start of the ASEAN Economic Community by 2015. In November, 2007, ASEAN members signed the
ASEAN Charter, a constitution governing relations among ASEAN members and establishing ASEAN itself
as an international legal entity. During the same year, the Cebu Declaration on East Asian Energy Security was
signed (15 January, 2007) by ASEAN and the other members of the EAS (Australia, The People's Republic of
China, India, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea), which pursues energy security by finding energy alternatives
to conventional fuels.
On 27 February, 2009, a free trade agreement (FTA) with the ASEAN regional bloc of ten countries and
Australia, and its close partner New Zealand was signed. It is believed that this FTA would boost combined
GDP across the twelve countries by more than US$48 billion over the period between 2000 and 2020. ASEAN
members, together with the group's six major trading partners (Australia, China, India, Japan, New Zealand,
South Korea), began the first round of negotiations on 26-28 February, 2013, in Bali, Indonesia, on the

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
The Spring festival season in Vietnam starts with the Lunar New Year and closes with the celebration
honoring the mythical founding fathers, the Hung Kings, on the tenth day of the third lunar month.
Underlying the origins of these rituals is the farming cycle and its association with fertility rites and ancestor
worship. Ancestor worship is a belief of wet-rice farmers who keep their ancestors' graves in their village. This
strong attachment to the village of one's birth and the recognition that the inhabitants all descend from the same
ancestral line creates strong bonds. The village festival is based on the spirit of unity and family. The farmers are
the festivals' creators, actors and audience.
Ancient ceremonies related to farming sometimes take on additional meanings: the commemoration of
heroic deeds and the village heroes' birth or death. Each village in the North of Vietnam has such a heroic or super-
human figure as a tutelary or guardian spirit. The heroes were honored in their own temples and communal houses
which became the heart of the village activities.
There are basic themes which are common to all Spring festivals in the Red River Delta. For instance, water
takes on an essential role. Water is collected and blessed and later used for ritual washing. There are boat races,
fishing contests, snake dances and water puppet performances. In Chem village, in the suburbs of Hanoi on the
banks of the Red River, the main part of the festival actually occurs on a barge carrying over 200 people waving
flags, singing, dancing and chasing a unicorn. The barge sails from the temple out into the middle of the Red River,

while elders in smaller boats fetch three large jars of water to be blessed and used in rituals during the year. The
