The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has established Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) or Comprehensive Economic Partnerships with several countries. Among the options provided, Australia, China, India, and Japan are ASEAN’s free-trade partners through various agreements such as the ASEAN-China FTA (ACFTA), ASEAN-India FTA (AIFTA), ASEAN-Japan Comprehensive Economic Partnership (AJCEP), and the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand FTA (AANZFTA).

Countries that have FTAs with ASEAN include Australia, China, India, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. Additionally, these countries plus ASEAN members are part of the larger Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement.

Canada and the USA do not currently have comprehensive free-trade agreements with ASEAN as a bloc, although individual ASEAN member states might have separate trade agreements with these countries.
